Sahih al-Bukhari #5167
Food, Meals
Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, "I have heard the voice of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) which was feeble, and I
think that he is hungry. Have you got something (to eat)?" She took out some loaves of barley bread,
then took her face-covering sheet and wrapped the bread in part of it, and pushed it under my garment
and turned the rest of it around my body and sent me to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . I went with that, and found
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the mosque with some people. I stood up near them, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked me,
"Have you been sent by Abu Talha?" I said, "Yes." He asked, "With some food (for us)?" I said,
"Yes." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to all those who were with him, "Get up!" He set out (and all the
people accompanied him) and I proceeded ahead of them till I came to Abu Talha. Abu Talha then
said, "O Um Sulaim! Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has arrived along with the people, and we do not have food
enough to feed them all." She said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." So Abu Talha went out till
he met Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Then Abu Talha and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came and entered the house. Allah's
Apostle said, "Um Sulaim ! Bring whatever you have." She brought that very bread. The Prophet (ﷺ)
ordered that it be crushed into small pieces, and Um Sulaim pressed a skin of butter on it. Then Allah's
Apostle said whatever Allah wished him to say (to bless the food) and then added, "Admit ten (men)."
So they were admitted, ate their fill and went out. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Admit ten (more)." They
were admitted, ate their full, and went out. He then again said, "Admit ten more!" They were
admitted, ate their fill, and went out. He admitted ten more, and so all those people ate their fill, and
they were eighty men.

فَمَن لَّمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَتَمَآسَّا ۖ فَمَن لَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَإِطْعَامُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِتُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ۚ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَلِلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
And he who does not find [a slave] - then a fast for two months consecutively before they touch one another; and he who is unable - then the feeding of sixty poor persons. That is for you to believe [completely] in Allah and His Messenger; and those are the limits [set by] Allah. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.

And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allah [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.
