حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي التَّيْمِيَّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ جَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِضَيْفٍ لَهُ أَوْ بِأَضْيَافٍ لَهُ قَالَ فَأَمْسَى عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى قَالَتْ لَهُ أُمِّي احْتَبَسْتَ عَنْ ضَيْفِكَ أَوْ أَضْيَافِكَ مُنْذُ اللَّيْلَةِ قَالَ أَمَا عَشَّيْتِهِمْ قَالَتْ لَا قَالَتْ قَدْ عَرَضْتُ ذَاكَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَبَوْا أَوْ فَأَبَى قَالَ فَغَضِبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَحَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَطْعَمَهُ وَحَلَفَ الضَّيْفُ أَوْ الْأَضْيَافُ أَنْ لَا يَطْعَمُوهُ حَتَّى يَطْعَمَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ قَالَ فَدَعَا بِالطَّعَامِ فَأَكَلَ وَأَكَلُوا قَالَ فَجَعَلُوا لَا يَرْفَعُونَ لُقْمَةً إِلَّا رَبَتْ مِنْ أَسْفَلِهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ يَا أُخْتَ بَنِي فِرَاسٍ مَا هَذَا قَالَ فَقَالَتْ قُرَّةُ عَيْنِي إِنَّهَا الْآنَ لَأَكْثَرُ مِنْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ نَأْكُلَ قَالَ فَأَكَلُوا وَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ أَكَلَ مِنْهَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1702
It was narrated that 'Abdul Rahman bin Abi Bakr said: Abu Bakr (RA) came with a guest or guests, then he went to the Prophet (PBUH) in the evening. When he came back, my mother said to him: You stayed away from your guest {or guests) since night began. He said: Didn't you give them supper? She said: No. She said: I offered it to him (or them) but they refused (or he refused). Abu Bakr got angry and swore that he would not eat, and the guest (or guests) swore that they would not eat until he ate. Then Abu Bakr said: This is from the Shaitan. So he called for the food and ate, and they ate too. They did not lift any morsel to their mouths but more than that appeared beneath it. He said: O sister of Banu Firas, what is this? She said: What a surprise, now it is more than it was before we ate! So they ate and sent some of it to the Prophet And he mentioned that he ate some of it.
