When the Ansari came and he saw Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) and his two companions, he said: Praise be to Allah, no one has more honourable guests today than I (have).

I have seen Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) looking extremely hungry. She brought out a bag of provisions which contained a sa' of barley. We also had with us a lamb. I slaughtered it. She ground the flour. She finished (this work) with me. I cut it into pieces and put it in the earthenware pot and then returned to Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) (for inviting him). She said: Do not humiliate me in the presence of Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) and those who are with him.
When I came to him I whispered to him saying: Allah's Messenger, we have slaughtered a lamb for you and she has ground a sa' of barley which we had with us. So you come with a group of people. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said loudly: O people of the ditch, Jabir has arranged a feast for you, so (come along). Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said: Do not remove your earthenware from the hearth and do not bake the bread from the kneaded flour until I come. So I came and Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) came and he was ahead of the people. I came to my wife and she said (to me): You will be humbled. I said: I did what you had asked me to do.
She (his wife) said: I brought out the kneaded flour and Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) put some saliva of his in that and blessed it. He then put saliva in the earthenware pot, blessed it and then said: Call another baker who can bake with you and, take out the soup from it, but do not remove it from the hearth. The guests numbered one thousand.
(Jabir said): I take an oath by Allah that all of them ate (the food to their fill) until they left it and went away and our earthenware pot was brimming over as before, and it was the case with our flour; or as Dahhak (another narrator) said: It (the flour) was in the same condition although loaves had been prepared from it.

She brought out barley loaves, then took out a head-covering of hers, in a part of which she wrapped those loaves, then put them beneath my mantle and covered me with a part of it. She then sent me to Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him).
I set forth and found Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) sitting in the mosque in the company of some people. I stood near them, whereupon Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said: Has AbuTalhah sent you? I said: Yes. He said: Is it for a feast? I said: Yes. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) told those who were with him to stand up. He went forth and so did I before them, until I came to AbuTalhah and informed him. AbuTalhah said: Umm Sulaym, here comes Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) with some people and we do not have enough (food) to feed them. She said: Allah and His Messenger know best. AbuTalhah went out (to receive him) and he met Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) and Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) came with him until they both (Allah's Messenger and AbuTalhah) entered.
Then Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said: Umm Sulaym, bring forth that which you have with you. She brought the bread. Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) commanded that the bread be broken into small pieces, and when Umm Sulayman had squeezed a small waterskin and put seasoning on it, Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) recited what Allah wished him to say regarding it.
He then said: Allow ten (guests to come in and have their meals). He let them come in; they ate until they had their fill. They then went out. He (the Holy Prophet) again said: Permit ten (more) and he (the host) gave permission to them. They ate until they had had enough. Then they went out. He again said: Permit ten (more) until all the people had eaten to their fill, and there were seventy or eighty of them.

When food was brought to Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) he ate out of that, and sent the remaining part to me, and one day he sent to me the left-over; (I found that he) had not taken from it at all for it included garlic. I asked him whether that was forbidden, whereupon he said: No, but I do not like it because of its odour. He (AbuAyyub Ansari) said: Then I also do not like what you do not like.
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
Someone came to Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) and said: I am hard pressed by hunger. He sent (a message) to one of his wives (to procure food for him), but she said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth, I have nothing (to serve him) but water. He (the Holy Prophet) then sent the (same) message to another, and she gave the same reply, until all of them gave the same reply: By Him Who has sent thee with the Truth, I have nothing but water. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah will show mercy to him who entertains this guest tonight.
A person from the Ansar stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, I (am ready to entertain). He took him to his house and said to his wife: Do you have anything (to serve the guest)? She said: No, barely enough for our children. He said: Distract their attention with something, and when the guest enters extinguish the lamp and give him the impression that we are eating. So they sat down, and the guest had his meal.
When it was morning he went to Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) who said: Allah was well pleased with what you both did for your guest this night.
Narrated Miqdad:
Two of my companions and I were so much afflicted by hunger that we had lost our sight and hearing. We presented ourselves (as guests) to the companions of the Holy Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), but none amongst them would entertain us.
So we came to Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him), and he took us to his residence and there were three goats. Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: Milk these for us. So we milked them and each one of us drank his share and we set aside the share of Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him). (It was his habit) to come during the night and greet (the people present there) in a manner that would not wake up one who was asleep but make one who was awake hear it. He would then go to the mosque and say prayers, then go to the milk and drink it.
Miqdad added: One night Satan came to me when I had taken my share, and he said: Muhammad has gone to the Ansar who will offer him hospitality and he will share what they have them, he has no need this draught (of milk). So I took (that milk) and drank it, and when it had penetrated my stomach and I was certain that there was no way out (but to digest it), Satan aroused (my sense of) remorse and said: Woe be to thee! What have you done? You have taken the drink reserved for Muhammad! When he comes and back not find it, he will curse you. You will be ruined, and thus This world and the hereafter will be lost you. There was a sheet over me; as I pulled it my feet, my head was uncovered, and as I pulled it over my head, my feet were uncovered. I could not sleep, but my two companions had gone to sleep for they had not done what I had done. There came Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) and he greeted us in his usual way (by saying As-salamu Alaykum). He came to the mosque and observed prayer, and then came to his drink (milk) and uncovered it but did not find anything in it. He raised his head towards the sky, and I said (to myself) that he (the Holy Prophet) was going to invoke curses upon me and I should be thus ruined. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah, feed him who fed me and give drink to him who provided me with drink. I held tight the sheet upon myself (and when he had supplicated), I took hold of the knife and went to the goats (possessed by the Holy Prophet) so that I may slaughter the fattest among them for Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him). In fact all of them were milking goats. So I took hold of the vessel which belonged to the family of Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him), in which they used to milk and drink therefrom, and milked them in that until it was full of frothy milk.
I came to Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) and he said: Have you taken your share of the milk during the night? I said: Drink it, and he drank it. He then handed over (the vessel) to me and I said: Allah's Messenger, drink it. He drank it and handed over (the vessel) to me again. I then perceived that Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) was satisfied and I had received his blessings.
I burst out laughing so hard that I fell upon the ground, whereupon Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said: Miqdad, it must be one of your mischiefs. I said: Allah's Messenger, this affair of mine is like this and this, and I have done so.
Thereupon, Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: This is nothing but a mercy from Allah. Why did you not give me an opportunity to awaken our two friends and they would have received their share (of the milk)? I said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth, I do not mind whatever you give (to them), and whatever the (other) people happen to receive, when I have received it with you from among the people.
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
I heard Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said: Food for one person suffices two persons and food for two persons suffices four persons, and food for four persons suffices eight persons; and in the tradition transmitted on the authority of Ishaq, there is no mention of the fact that he heard it directly (from the Prophet).
Narrated AbuMusa:
Allah's Messenger (peace_be_upon_him) said: A believer eats in one intestine, whereas a non-believer eats in seven intestines.
