English Translation

Yunus ibn Muhammad narrated to us, Harb ibn Maymun narrated to us, from al-Nadr ibn Anas, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: Umm Sulaym said, "Go to the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and say to him: if you see fit to have your midday meal with us, then do so." He said: So I came to him and conveyed the message, and he said, "And whoever is with me?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Get up." He said: So I came and entered upon Umm Sulaym, bewildered by those who had come with the Messenger of Allah. Umm Sulaym said, "What have you done, O Anas?" Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered right after that. He said, "Do you have any clarified butter?" She said, "Yes, I have a small skin containing some clarified butter." He said, "Bring it." She said: So I brought it to him, and he opened its cover, then said, "In the name of Allah—O Allah, make the blessing in it abundant." Then he said, "Turn it over," so I turned it over, and the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, pressed it out while saying the name of Allah. He said: Then I took the residue at the bottom of the pot, and more than eighty men ate from it, and some remained, which he gave to Umm Sulaym, saying, "Eat, and feed your neighbors."
