It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that a vessel filled with tharid was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and placed before the people, and from morning till noon people kept eating from it in turns; one group would stand up and another group would sit down. A man said to Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him): Was anything else added to this vessel or bowl? Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Why are you surprised? And he pointed towards the sky and said: Food was coming into it from there.
