حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَی عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ فِي طَعَامِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ فَقَامَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ عَلَی الْبَابِ حَتَّی أَتَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا کَانَ شَيْئٌ يَسِيرٌ قَالَ هَلُمَّهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيَجْعَلُ فِيهِ الْبَرَکَةَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5320
Anas b. Malik reported this incident pertaining to the feast given by Abu Talha to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) with the addition of these words: Abu Talha stood at the door (to welcome the honourable guest) until Allah's Messenger (may peacec be upon him) came there, He (Abu Talha) said to him: Allah's Messenger, the thing (we intend to offer you as a meal) is small in quantity. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Bring that, for Allah will soon bless it (and increase it).
