Sahih Muslim — Drinks

Jabir b. Abdullah reported:We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at Marr az-Zahran, and we were plucking the fruit of the Arak tree, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) said: Pluck only its black ones (for they are the most pleasant). We said: Allah's Messenger, it seems you shepherded the flock. He said: Yes. Has there been a prophet who did not shepherd it (or some words like it)?

حدثني ابو الطاهر، اخبرنا عبد الله بن وهب، عن يونس، عن ابن شهاب، عن ابي سلمة بن عبد الرحمن، عن جابر بن عبد الله، قال كنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بمر الظهران ونحن نجني الكباث فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " عليكم بالاسود منه " . قال فقلنا يا رسول الله كانك رعيت الغنم قال " نعم وهل من نبي الا وقد رعاها " . او نحو هذا من القول

A'isha reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:The best of condiments or condiment is vinegar

حدثني عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن الدارمي، اخبرنا يحيى بن حسان، اخبرنا سليمان، بن بلال عن هشام بن عروة، عن ابيه، عن عايشة، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " نعم الادم - او الادام - الخل

This hadith has been reported on the authority of Sulaiman b. Bilal with the same chain of transmitters and he is reported to have said:" The best condiment." And he did not doubt (about this word)

وحدثناه موسى بن قريش بن نافع التميمي، حدثنا يحيى بن صالح الوحاظي، حدثنا سليمان بن بلال، بهذا الاسناد وقال " نعم الادم " . ولم يشك

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) asked his family for condiment. They (the members of his household) said:We have nothing with us but vinegar. He asked for it, he began to eat it, and then said: Vinegar is a good condiment, vinegar is a good condiment

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، اخبرنا ابو عوانة، عن ابي بشر، عن ابي سفيان، عن جابر بن عبد الله، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم سال اهله الادم فقالوا ما عندنا الا خل . فدعا به فجعل ياكل به ويقول " نعم الادم الخل نعم الادم الخل

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took hold of my hand one day (and led me) to his residence. There was presented to him some pieces of bread, whereupon he said: Is there no condiment? They (the members of his household) said: No, except some vinegar. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Vinegar is a good condiment. Jabir said: I have always loved vinegar since I heard it trom Allah's Apostle (ﷺ). Talha said: I have always loved vinegar since I heard about it from Jabir

حدثني يعقوب بن ابراهيم الدورقي، حدثنا اسماعيل، - يعني ابن علية - عن المثنى بن سعيد، حدثني طلحة بن نافع، انه سمع جابر بن عبد الله، يقول اخذ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بيدي ذات يوم الى منزله فاخرج اليه فلقا من خبز فقال " ما من ادم " . فقالوا لا الا شىء من خل . قال " فان الخل نعم الادم " . قال جابر فما زلت احب الخل منذ سمعتها من نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم . وقال طلحة ما زلت احب الخل منذ سمعتها من جابر

This hadith is reported on the authority of Jabir b. 'Abdullah that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took hold of his hand and led him to his residence as narrated above up to the words:" Vinegar is a good condiment." But in the hadith transmitted through this chain of transmitters, there is no mention of the subsequent part

حدثنا نصر بن علي الجهضمي، حدثني ابي، حدثنا المثنى بن سعيد، عن طلحة، بن نافع حدثنا جابر بن عبد الله، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اخذ بيده الى منزله . بمثل حديث ابن علية الى قوله " فنعم الادم الخل " . ولم يذكر ما بعده

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported:While I was sitting in my house there happened to pass by me Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He made a gesture to me and I stood up for him. He took hold of my hand until we came to one of the apartments of his wives. He entered and then asked me to get in. So I entered and there was hanging a curtain beside her. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Is there any food (with you)? They (the members of the household) said: Yes And then there were brought three loaves of bread for him (the Holy Prophet) and placed in the basket of palm leaves. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) picked up one loaf and placed that before him, and then picked up another one and placed it before me. He then picked up the third one and broke it into two parts, and kept the one-half before him and the other half before me, and then said: Is there any condiment? They (the members of the household) said: There is nothing (in the form of condiment) but some vinegar only. He said: Bring that, for vinegar is a good condiment

وحدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا يزيد بن هارون، اخبرنا حجاج بن ابي، زينب حدثني ابو سفيان، طلحة بن نافع قال سمعت جابر بن عبد الله، قال كنت جالسا في داري فمر بي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاشار الى فقمت اليه فاخذ بيدي فانطلقنا حتى اتى بعض حجر نسايه فدخل ثم اذن لي فدخلت الحجاب عليها فقال " هل من غداء " . فقالوا نعم . فاتي بثلاثة اقرصة فوضعن على نبي فاخذ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قرصا فوضعه بين يديه واخذ قرصا اخر فوضعه بين يدى ثم اخذ الثالث فكسره باثنين فجعل نصفه بين يديه ونصفه بين يدى ثم قال " هل من ادم " . قالوا لا . الا شىء من خل . قال " هاتوه فنعم الادم هو

Abd Ayydb Ansari reported that when food was brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) he ate out of that, and sent the remaining part to me, and one day he sent to me the left-over; (I found that he) had not taken from it at all for it included garlic. I asked him whether that was forbidden, whereupon he said:No, but I do not like it because of its odour. He (Abu Ayyub Ansiri) said: Then I also do not like what you do not like

حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، وابن، بشار - واللفظ لابن المثنى - قالا حدثنا محمد، بن جعفر حدثنا شعبة، عن سماك بن حرب، عن جابر بن سمرة، عن ابي ايوب الانصاري، قال كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اذا اتي بطعام اكل منه وبعث بفضله الى وانه بعث الى يوما بفضلة لم ياكل منها لان فيها ثوما فسالته احرام هو قال " لا ولكني اكرهه من اجل ريحه " . قال فاني اكره ما كرهت

This Hadith is narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters

وحدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد، عن شعبة، في هذا الاسناد

Aflah, the freed slave of Abu Ayyub Ansiri, reported:Allah's Messnger (ﷺ) had alighted in his house (viz. of Abu Ayyub Ansari at the time of his emigration to Medina) and he occupied the lower storey, whereas Abu Ayyub Ansari lived in the upper storey. One night, Abu Ayyub Ansari got up and said (to himself): (How unfortunate it is) that we walk above the head of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), so they went aside and spent the night in a nook and then told Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) about it whereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: The lower storey is more comfortable (for me). but he (Abu Ayyub Ansari) said: We (would not live) over the roof under which you live. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) shifted to the upper storey, whereas Abu Ayyub Ansari shifted to the lower storey; and he (Abu Ayyub Ansari) used to prepare food for Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) ; and when it was brought (back) to him he asked (to locate) the part, where his fingers had touched (the food), and he followed his fingers on that part where his fingers (those of the Holy Prophet) had touched it. (One day) he prepared food which contained garlic, and when it was returned to him he asked (to locate) the part which the fingers of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had touched. It was said to him that he had not eaten (the food). He (Abd Ayyub Ansari) was distressed and went up to him (to the Holy Prophet) and said: Is it forbidden? But Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: No, (it is not forbidden), but I do not like it. and he (Abu Ayyub Ansari) said: I also do not like what you do not like or which you did not like. He (Abu Ayyub Ansari) said: (The Prophet did not eat garlic) as Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) was visited (by angels) and brought him the message of Allah

وحدثني حجاج بن الشاعر، واحمد بن سعيد بن صخر، - واللفظ منهما قريب - قالا حدثنا ابو النعمان، حدثنا ثابت، - في رواية حجاج بن يزيد ابو زيد الاحول - حدثنا عاصم، عن عبد الله بن الحارث، عن افلح، مولى ابي ايوب عن ابي ايوب، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نزل عليه فنزل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في السفل وابو ايوب في العلو - قال - فانتبه ابو ايوب ليلة فقال نمشي فوق راس رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم . فتنحوا فباتوا في جانب ثم قال للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " السفل ارفق " . فقال لا اعلو سقيفة انت تحتها . فتحول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في العلو وابو ايوب في السفل فكان يصنع للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم طعاما فاذا جيء به اليه سال عن موضع اصابعه فيتتبع موضع اصابعه فصنع له طعاما فيه ثوم فلما رد اليه سال عن موضع اصابع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقيل له لم ياكل . ففزع وصعد اليه فقال احرام هو فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " لا ولكني اكرهه " . قال فاني اكره ما تكره او ما كرهت . قال وكان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يوتى

Abu Huraira reported that a person came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said:I am hard pressed by hunger. He sent (message) to one of his wives (to procure food for him). but she said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth, thrre is nothing with me (to serve him) but only water. He (the Holy Prophet) then sent the (same) message to another, and she gave the same reply, until all of them gave the same reply: By Him Who has sent thee with the Truth, there is nothing with me but only water, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah would show mercy to him who will entertain this guest tonight. A person from the Ansar stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, I (am ready to entertain). He took him to his house and said to his wife: Is there anything with you (to serve the gdest)? She said: No, but only a subsistence for our children. He said: Distract their attention with something, and when the guest enters extinguish the lamp and give him the impression that we are eating. So they sat down. and the guest had his meal. When it was morning he went to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) who said: Allah was well pleased with what you both did for your guest this night

حدثني زهير بن حرب، حدثنا جرير بن عبد الحميد، عن فضيل بن غزوان، عن ابي حازم الاشجعي، عن ابي هريرة، قال جاء رجل الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال اني مجهود . فارسل الى بعض نسايه فقالت والذي بعثك بالحق ما عندي الا ماء . ثم ارسل الى اخرى فقالت مثل ذلك حتى قلن كلهن مثل ذلك لا والذي بعثك بالحق ما عندي الا ماء . فقال " من يضيف هذا الليلة رحمه الله " . فقام رجل من الانصار فقال انا يا رسول الله . فانطلق به الى رحله فقال لامراته هل عندك شىء . قالت لا الا قوت صبياني . قال فعلليهم بشىء فاذا دخل ضيفنا فاطفيي السراج واريه انا ناكل فاذا اهوى لياكل فقومي الى السراج حتى تطفييه . قال فقعدوا واكل الضيف . فلما اصبح غدا على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال " قد عجب الله من صنيعكما بضيفكما الليلة

Abu Huraira reported that a guest spent the night with a person from the Ansar who had nothing with him but food (sufficient) for his own self and his children. He said to his wife:(Lull) the children to sleep, and put out the lamp, and serve the guest with what you have with you. It was on this occasion that this verse was revealed:" Those who prefer the needy to their own selves in spite of the fact that they are themselves in pressing need" (Lix)

حدثنا ابو كريب، محمد بن العلاء حدثنا وكيع، عن فضيل بن غزوان، عن ابي، حازم عن ابي هريرة، . ان رجلا، من الانصار بات به ضيف فلم يكن عنده الا قوته وقوت صبيانه فقال لامراته نومي الصبية واطفيي السراج وقربي للضيف ما عندك - قال - فنزلت هذه الاية { ويوثرون على انفسهم ولو كان بهم خصاصة}

Abu Huraira reported that a man came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) so that he should entertain him as a guest, but he had nothing with which he could entertain him. He, therefore, asked if there was any person who would entertain him (assuring the audience) that Allah would show mercy to him. A person from the Ansar who was called Abu Talha stood up and he took him to his house. The rest of the hadith is the same and mention is (also) made in that about the revelation of the verse as narrated by Waki

وحدثناه ابو كريب، حدثنا ابن فضيل، عن ابيه، عن ابي حازم، عن ابي هريرة، قال جاء رجل الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليضيفه فلم يكن عنده ما يضيفه فقال " الا رجل يضيف هذا رحمه الله " . فقام رجل من الانصار يقال له ابو طلحة فانطلق به الى رحله . وساق الحديث بنحو حديث جرير وذكر فيه نزول الاية كما ذكره وكيع

Miqdad reported:I and two of my companions were so much afflicted by hunger that we had lost our power of seeing and hearing. We presented ourselves (as guests) to the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ), but none amongst them would entertain us. So we came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), and he took us to his residence and there were three goats. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Milk these for us. So we milked them and every person amongst us drank his share and we set aside the share of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ). (It was his habit) to come during the night and greet (the people present there) in a manner that would not wake up one in sleep but make one who was awake hear it. He would then go to the mosque and say prayer, then go to the milk and drink it. Miqdad added: One night the Satan came to me when I had taken my share, and he said: Muhammad has gone to the Ansar, who would offer him hospitality and he would get what is with them, and he has no need for this draught (of milk). So I took (that milk) and drank it, and when it had penetrated deeply in my stomach and I was certain that there was no way out (but to digest it), the Satan aroused (my sense of) remorse and said: Woe be to thee! what have you done? You have taken the drink reserved for Muhammad! When he would come and he would not find it, he would curse you, and you would be ruined, and thus there would go (waste) this world and the Hereafter (for) you. There was a sheet over me; as I placed (pulled) it upon my feet, my head was uncovered and as I placed it upon my head, my feet were uncovered, and I could not sleep, but my two companions had gone to sleep for they had not done what I had done. There came Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), and he greeted as he used to greet (by saying as-Salamu 'Alaikum). He then came to the mosque and observed prayer and then came to his drink (milk) and uncovered it, but did not find anything in it. He raised his head towards the sky, and I said (to myself) that he (the Holy Prophet) was going to invoke curse upon me and I would be thus ruined; but he (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah, feed him who fed me and give drink to him who provided me drink. I held tight the sheet upon myself (and when he had supplicated), I took hold of the knife and went to the goats (possessed by the Holy Prophet) so that I may slauhter one for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) which was the fattest amongst them, and in fact all of them were milch goats; then I took hold of the vessel which belonged to the family of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in which they used to milk and drink therefrom, and milked them in that until it swelled up with foam. I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he said: Have you taken your share of the milk during the night? I said: Drink it. and he drank it; he then handed over (the vessel) to me and I said: Allah's Messenger, drink it, and he drank it and handed over (the vessel) to me again, I then perceived that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had been satiated and I had got his blessings. I burst into laughter (so much) so that I fell upon the ground, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Miqdad, it must be one of your mischiefs. I said: Allah's Messenger, this affair of mind is like this and this. and I have done so. Thereupon. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: This is nothing but a mercy from Allah. Why is it that you did not give me an opportunity so that we should have awakened our two friends and they would have got their share (of the milk)? I said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth. I do not mind whatever you give (to them), and whatever the (other) people happen to get, when I had got it along with you from among the people

This hadith has been reported on the authority of Mughira with the same chain of transmitters

وحدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، اخبرنا النضر بن شميل، حدثنا سليمان بن المغيرة، بهذا الاسناد

Abd al-Rahman b. Abu Bakr reported:We were one hundred and thirty (persons) with Allah's Apostle (ﷺ). Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Does any one of You possess food? There was a person with (us) who had a sa' of flour or something about that, and it was kneaded. Then a tall polytheist with dishevelled hair came driving his flock of sheep. Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Would you like to sell it (any one of these goats) or offer it as a gift or a present? He said: No, (I am not prepared to offer as a gift), but I would sell it. He (the Holy Prophet) bought a sheep from him, and it was slaughtered and its meat was prepared, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded that its liver should be roasted. He (the narrator) said: By Allah, none among one hundred and thirty persons was left whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not given a part out of her liver; if anyone was present he gave it to him. but if he was absent it was set aside for him. And he (the Holy Prophet) filled two bowls (one with soup and the other with mutton) and we all ate out of them to our hearts' content, but (still) some part was (left) in (those) two bowls, and I placed it on the camel- (or words to the same effect)

وحدثنا عبيد الله بن معاذ العنبري، وحامد بن عمر البكراوي، ومحمد بن عبد، الاعلى جميعا عن المعتمر بن سليمان، - واللفظ لابن معاذ - حدثنا المعتمر، حدثنا ابي، عن ابي عثمان، - وحدث ايضا، - عن عبد الرحمن بن ابي بكر، قال كنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ثلاثين وماية فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " هل مع احد منكم طعام " . فاذا مع رجل صاع من طعام او نحوه فعجن ثم جاء رجل مشرك مشعان طويل بغنم يسوقها فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " ابيع ام عطية - او قال - ام هبة " . فقال لا بل بيع . فاشترى منه شاة فصنعت وامر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بسواد البطن ان يشوى . قال وايم الله ما من الثلاثين وماية الا حز له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حزة حزة من سواد بطنها ان كان شاهدا اعطاه وان كان غايبا خبا له - قال - وجعل قصعتين فاكلنا منهما اجمعون وشبعنا وفضل في القصعتين فحملته على البعير . او كما قال

Abd al-Rabman b. Abu Bakr reported that the people of Suffa were very poor. Once the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said (to his Companions):He who amongst you has food for two persons should take three (guests with him). and he who has with him food for four persons should take five or six (guests with him for entertaining them). It was (in accordance with these instructions of the Holy Prophet) that Abu Bakr brought three persons, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) brought ten persons (as guests to their respective houses). Abu Bakr had brought three persons (he himself, and myself), my father and my mother (along with therm). He (the narrator) said: I do not know whether he also said: My wife and one servant who was common between our house and that of Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr had had his evening meal with Allah's Apostle (ﷺ). He stayed here until night prayer had been offered. He then came back (to the house of Allah's Apostle) and stayed there until Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) felt drowsy and (Abu Bakr) then came (back to his own house) when (a considerable) part of the night had been over, as Allah had desired. His wife said to him: What held you back from your guests? He said: Oh! have you not served them the evening meal (by this time)? She said: It was in fact served to them. but they refused to eat until you came. He ('Abd al-Rahman) said: I slunk away and bid myself. He (Abu Bakr) said: O, you stupid fellow, and he reprimanded me, and said to the guests: Eat, though it may not be pleasant now. He said: By Allah. I will never eat it He ('Abd al-Rahman) said: By Allah. we did not take a morsel when from beneath that (there appeared) more until they had eaten to their fill, and lo! it was more than what it was before. Abu Bakr saw that and found that it was so or more than that. He said to his wife: Sister of Band Firis, what is th-is? She said: By the coolness of my eyes. it is in excess by three times over the previous one. Then Abu Bakr ate saying: That was from the Satan (viz. his vow for not eating the food). He then took a morsel out of that and then took it (the rest) to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and it was kept there until morning, and during (those days) there was a covenant between us and some other people, and the period of covenant was over, and we had appointed twelve officials with every person amongst them. It is Allah only Who knows as to how many people were there with each of them. He sent (this food to them) and all of them ate out of it

Abd al-Rahman b. Abd Bakr reported:There came to our house some guests. It was a common practice with my father to (go) and talk to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) during the night. While going he said: 'Abd al-Rahman, entertain the guests. When it was evening we served the food to them, but they refused saying: So long as the owner of the house does not come and join us, we would not take the meal. I said to them: He ('Abd Bakr) is a stern person, and if you would not do that (if you do not take the food). I fear, I may be harmed by him, but they refused. As he (my father) came, the first thing he asked was: Have you served the guests? They (the peopleof the household) said: We have not served them sofar. He said: Did I not command 'Abd al-Rahman (to do this)? He ('Abd al-Rahman) said: I slunk away and kept myself away by that time. He again said: O stupid fellow, I ask you on oath that In case you hear my voice you come to me. I came and said: By Allah, there is no fault of mine. These are your guests; you may ask them. I provided them with food but they refused to eat until you came. He said to them: Why is it that you did not accept our food? By Allah, I shall not even take food tonight (as you have not taken). They said: By Allah, we would not take until you join us. Thereupon he Abu Bakr) said: I have never seen a more unfortunate night than this. Woe be to thee! that you do not accept from us food prepared for you. He again said: What I did first (that is the taking of vow for not eating the food) was prompted by the Satan. Bring the food. The food was brought, and he ate by reciting the name of Allah and they also ate, and when it was morning he came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, their oath (that of the guests) came to be true, but mine was not true, and after that he informed him of the whole incident. He said: Your oath came to be the most true and you are the best of them. He (the narrator) said. I do not know whether he made an atonement for it

حدثني محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا سالم بن نوح العطار، عن الجريري، عن ابي عثمان، عن عبد الرحمن بن ابي بكر، قال نزل علينا اضياف لنا - قال - وكان ابي يتحدث الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من الليل - قال - فانطلق وقال يا عبد الرحمن افرغ من اضيافك . قال فلما امسيت جينا بقراهم - قال - فابوا فقالوا حتى يجيء ابو منزلنا فيطعم معنا - قال - فقلت لهم انه رجل حديد وانكم ان لم تفعلوا خفت ان يصيبني منه اذى - قال - فابوا فلما جاء لم يبدا بشىء اول منهم فقال افرغتم من اضيافكم قال قالوا لا والله ما فرغنا . قال الم امر عبد الرحمن قال وتنحيت عنه فقال يا عبد الرحمن . قال فتنحيت - قال - فقال يا غنثر اقسمت عليك ان كنت تسمع صوتي الا جيت - قال - فجيت فقلت والله ما لي ذنب هولاء اضيافك فسلهم قد اتيتهم بقراهم فابوا ان يطعموا حتى تجيء - قال - فقال ما لكم الا تقبلوا عنا قراكم - قال - فقال ابو بكر فوالله لا اطعمه الليلة - قال - فقالوا فوالله لا نطعمه حتى تطعمه . قال فما رايت كالشر كالليلة قط ويلكم ما لكم ان لا تقبلوا عنا قراكم قال ثم قال اما الاولى فمن الشيطان هلموا قراكم - قال - فجيء بالطعام فسمى فاكل واكلوا - قال - فلما اصبح غدا على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا رسول الله بروا وحنثت - قال - فاخبره فقال " بل انت ابرهم واخيرهم " . قال ولم تبلغني كفارة

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:Food for two persons suffices three persons and food for three persons suffices four persons

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، قال قرات على مالك عن ابي الزناد، عن الاعرج، عن ابي هريرة، انه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " طعام الاثنين كافي الثلاثة وطعام الثلاثة كافي الاربعة

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported:I heard Allah'. s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Food for one person suffices two persons and food for two persons suffices four persons, and food for four persons suffices eight persons; and in the tradition transmitted on the authority of Ishaq there is no mention of the fact that he heard it directly (from the Holy Prophet)
