Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A bowl of tharid was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It was placed before the people, and people kept coming to it one after another from morning till noon. When some people would get up, others would come and sit. A person asked Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him): Was it increasing? Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: What are you amazed at? It was only increasing from that side. He pointed towards the sky with his hand and said this.
