The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa sa ra said to his Companions": "Enter, but do not crowd. ' Then he started breaking up the bread and putting meat on it. He would take a portion from the pot and the oven, then cover them up and approach his Companions and hand it over to them. He would then go back and uncover the pot and oven. He continued to break up the bread and putting meat on it till all had eaten to their fill and some was still left over. Then he said to my wife: 'Eat of it, and send it as a present, for people who have been afflicted with hunger. ' sa sa ra. In another Hadith it is related that Hadrat Jäbir" relates: "When the. Ditch was being dug, I saw that the Holy Prophet" was hungry. So I went to my wife and asked her whether she had anything? I have seen that the. Holy Prophet is extremely hungry. She brought a bag to me which contained one Sa' of barley and we had a domestic ram. I slaughtered the ram and my wife grinded the barley. After grinding she came to me. I cut the meat into pieces and put it into a cooking pot. Then I returned to the. Holy Prophet. My wife told me not to disgrace her in front of the Holy. Prophet and his Companions". I came to the Holy Prophet" and told him in low voice, 'Messenger" of Allāh, we have slaughtered a ram and have grinded one Sa' of barley. Please come with a few Companions". ' The. Holy Prophet said in loud voice, 'O the inhabitants of the Ditch, Jäbir has invited us. Let us go. ' The Holy Prophet" told me not to remove the cooking pot from the fire and not to start making bread till he comes. I returned and Holy Prophet also came walking in front of the people. . When I returned, my wife dubbed me as careless and neglectful. I told her that I did just as she had told. She brought the flour. The Holy Prophet sa sa sa sa sa. Sa blessed it by mixing his saliva in it. Then he went to our cooking pot and blessed it also by putting his saliva in it. Then he said, 'Call a lady-baker to help you in cooking the bread. Start serving the curry but do not remove the pot from the fire. ' They were around one thousand. I swear by Allāh that all of them ate to their full while our cooking pot was still steaming and our dough was still being baked into breads.
