It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to (his wife) Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) to prepare food for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then Abu Talhah sent me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I reached him and said, "Abu Talhah has sent me to you." The Prophet said to all those present: "Come, get up." So he and all those present set out. Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have prepared food only for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Do not worry, come along." So he went, and all the people went out as well. The food was brought. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed his blessed hand on the food and recited 'Bismillah' (prayed for blessing), then said: "Now call ten people at a time to eat." Thus, ten people came. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Begin eating in the name of Allah." They started eating, and all ten ate to their fill and left. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) again placed his hand on the food as before and took the name of Allah, and seated another ten people to eat, and said: "Begin eating by saying 'Bismillah'." So they ate to their fill and left. In this way, eighty people ate the food, and then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the household ate, and the food was still left over.
