حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ أَتَى أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بِمُدَّيْنِ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَصُنِعَ طَعَامًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي يَا أَنَسُ انْطَلِقْ ائْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَادْعُهُ وَقَدْ تَعْلَمُ مَا عِنْدَنَا قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ عِنْدَهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ يَدْعُوكَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ فَقَامَ وَقَالَ لِلنَّاسِ قُومُوا فَقَامُوا فَجِئْتُ أَمْشِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ قَالَ فَضَحْتَنَا قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمْرَهُ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْبَابِ قَالَ لَهُمْ اقْعُدُوا وَدَخَلَ عَاشِرَ عَشَرَةٍ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ أُتِيَ بِالطَّعَامِ تَنَاوَلَ فَأَكَلَ وَأَكَلَ مَعَهُ الْقَوْمُ حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ قُومُوا وَلْيَدْخُلْ عَشَرَةٌ مَكَانَكُمْ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ وَأَكَلُوا قَالَ قُلْتُ كَمْ كَانُوا قَالَ كَانُوا نَيِّفًا وَثَمَانِينَ قَالَ وَفَضَلَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ مَا أَشْبَعَهُمْ.
English Translation
Ali ibn Asim told us: Husayn ibn Abd al-Rahman informed us, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: Abu Talha came with two mudds of barley and ordered it made into food, then said to me: 'O Anas, go to the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, and invite him, for you know what we have.' He said: So I went to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while his companions were with him, and I said: 'Abu Talha invites you to his food.' So he rose and said to the people: 'Get up,' and they got up. I walked in front of him until I entered upon Abu Talha and told him. He said: 'You have disgraced us!' I said: 'I could not refuse the command of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him.' When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, reached the door, he said to them: 'Sit down,' and he entered as the tenth of ten. When he entered, the food was brought; he took some and ate, and the people ate with him until they were satisfied. Then he said to them: 'Get up, and let ten more enter in your place,' until all the people had entered and eaten. He said: I said, 'How many were they?' He said: 'They were more than eighty.' He said: And there remained enough for the household to be satisfied.
