It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to his place. He presented food, sweets, and sattu (roasted barley flour), which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would eat dates and place the pit on the back of his finger and flick it away. Then water was presented, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drank and gave to the one on his right side. He held its strap and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), please supplicate to Allah for us." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated, saying, "O Allah! Bless their sustenance, forgive them, and have mercy on them."

At that moment, a woman's voice came from inside the house: "O questioner! Allah Almighty says, 'There is no creature that moves on the earth nor a bird that flies with its wings but they are communities like you. We have not neglected anything in the Book.'" They both said, "This is our sister, who is older than us and who met the Prophet (peace be upon him)."
