Another narration states: they were admitted in groups of ten and ate until eighty men had done so. The Prophet ﷺ then ate after them along with the household, and some of the food was still left over.

A further wording adds: they then sent whatever remained on to their neighbours.

In yet another report Anas said: “One day I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found him sitting with his Companions, a band wrapped round his stomach. I asked one of them, ‘Why has the Messenger of Allah ﷺ tied his stomach?’ They said, ‘Because of hunger.’ I therefore went to Abu Talhah, the husband of Umm Sulaym bint Milḥān, and said, ‘Father, I have just seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a band round his stomach. I asked some of his Companions and they told me it was due to hunger.’ Abu Talhah went in to my mother and asked, ‘Do we have anything?’ She replied, ‘Yes, a few pieces of bread and some dates. If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ comes alone we can satisfy him, but if someone else comes with him it will not be enough for them.’” He then related the remainder of the ḥadīth.

57 – Chapter: Contentment, Chastity, Moderation in Livelihood and Spending, and the Reprehensibility of Asking Without Necessity

Allah the Exalted says: “There is no creature on earth without its provision resting upon Allah.” (Hūd 6)

He, Most High, also says: “Charity is for the poor who have been restrained for the cause of Allah (1) and cannot travel through the land; the ignorant take them to be self-sufficient because of their restraint. You will recognise them by their mark—they do not beg from people persistently (2).” (al-Baqarah 2:273)

And He says: “Those who, when they spend, are neither wasteful nor miserly but keep to a just balance between the two.” (al-Furqān 25:67)

And He, Glorified be He, says: “I did not create jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me. I desire from them no provision, nor do I desire that they should feed Me.” (al-Dhāriyāt 51:56–57)
