(بَرَكَةُ طَعَامِ بَيْتِ حَضْرَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ)
(The blessing in the food at the house of Hazrat Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith Number: 5946
5946 - وعن عبد الرحمن بن ابي بكر - رضي الله عنهما - قال: إن اصحاب الصفة كانوا اناسا فقراء، وإن النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - قال: (من كان عنده طعام اثنين فليذهب بثالث، ومن كان عنده طعام اربعة فليذهب بخامس او سادس). وإن ابا بكر جاء بثلاثة وانطلق النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - بعشرة، وإن ابا بكر تعشى عند النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - ثم لبث حتى صليت العشاء، ثم رجع فلبث حتى تعشى النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فجاء بعدما مضى من الليل ما شاء الله. قالت له امراته: ما حبسك عن اضيافك؟ قال: او ما عشيتيهم؟ قالت: ابوا حتى تجيء، فغضب وقال: والله لا اطعمه ابدا، فحلفت المراة ان لا تطعمه، وحلف الاضياف ان لا يطعموه. قال ابو بكر: كان هذا من الشيطان، فدعا بالطعام، فاكل واكلوا، فجعلوا لا يرفعون لقمة إلا ربت من اسفلها اكثر منها . فقال لامراته: يا اخت بني فراس ما هذا!؟ قالت: وقرة عيني إنها الآن لاكثر منها قبل ذلك بثلاث مرار، فاكلوا، وبعث بها إلى النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فذكر انه اكل منها. متفق عليه. وذكر حديث عبد الله بن مسعود: كنا نسمع تسبيح الطعام في (المعجزات).
`Abd ar-Rahman b. Abu Bakr said:The people in the Suffa were poor men, and the Prophet said, "Let him who has food for two take a third, and let him who has food for four take a fifth, or a sixth*." Abu Bakr brought three men and the Prophet went off with ten. Abu Bakr had supper with the Prophet, then remained till the evening prayer was said, after which he went back and stayed till the Prophet had had his supper. Then when so much of the night as God willed had passed, he came home and his wife asked what had kept him away from his guests. He asked if she had not given them their supper, and when she told him they had refused to take it till he came he was angry and said, "I swear by God that I will never taste it." His wife swore that she would not taste it, and the guests swore that they would not taste it; so Abu Bakr, saying this came from the devil, called for the food and ate, and they ate also. Whenever they raised a morsel to their mouths the place from which it was taken increased in quantity, so Abu Bakr said to his wife, "You who come from the B. Firas, what does this mean?" She replied, "I swear by my wellbeing that it is three times as great as it was." They ate and he sent it to the Prophet, and it is mentioned that he ate some of it. *It is not clear whether there is doubt about whether a fifth or a sixth is correct, or whether the words "or a sixth" indicate that two extra people may be invited when there is enough for four. The construction of the sentence rather suggests this latter meaning. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
