Home Hadith Hadith 3429
We used to consider miracles as Allah's Blessings, but you people consider them to be a warning.
Once we were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on a journey, and we ran short of water. He said, "Bring the water
remaining with you." The people brought a utensil containing a little water. He placed his hand in it
and said, "Come to the blessed water, and the Blessing is from Allah." I saw the water flowing from
among the fingers of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , and no doubt, we heard the meal glorifying Allah, when it was
being eaten (by him).

Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, "I have noticed feebleness in the voice of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) which I
think, is caused by hunger. Have you got any food?" She said, "Yes." She brought out some loaves of
barley and took out a veil belonging to her, and wrapped the bread in part of it and put it under my
arm and wrapped part of the veil round me and sent me to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I went carrying it and
found Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the Mosque sitting with some people. When I stood there, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
asked, "Has Abu Talha sent you?" I said, "Yes". He asked, "With some food? I said, "Yes" Allah's
Apostle then said to the men around him, "Get up!" He set out (accompanied by them) and I went
ahead of them till I reached Abu Talha and told him (of the Prophet's visit). Abu Talha said, "O Um
Sulaim! Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is coming with the people and we have no food to feed them." She said,
"Allah and His Apostle know better." So Abu Talha went out to receive Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Allah's
Apostle came along with Abu Talha. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have."
She brought the bread which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered to be broken into pieces. Um Sulaim poured on
them some butter from an oilskin. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited what Allah wished him to recite, and
then said, "Let ten persons come (to share the meal)." Ten persons were admitted, ate their fill and
went out. Then he again said, "Let another ten do the same." They were admitted, ate their fill and
went out. Then he again said, '"'Let another ten persons (do the same.)" They were admitted, ate their
fill and went out. Then he said, "Let another ten persons come." In short, all of them ate their fill, and
they were seventy or eighty men.

My father had died in debt. So I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "My father (died) leaving unpaid debts,
and I have nothing except the yield of his date palms; and their yield for many years will not cover his
debts. So please come with me, so that the creditors may not misbehave with me." The Prophet (ﷺ) went
round one of the heaps of dates and invoked (Allah), and then did the same with another heap and sat
on it and said, "Measure (for them)." He paid them their rights and what remained was as much as had
been paid to them.
