حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ الصُّفَّةِ كَانُوا أُنَاسًا فُقَرَاءَ وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ اثْنَيْنِ فَلْيَذْهَبْ بِثَلَاثَةٍ وَمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ أَرْبَعَةٍ فَلْيَذْهَبْ بِخَامِسٍ بِسَادِسٍ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ وَأَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ جَاءَ بِثَلَاثَةٍ وَانْطَلَقَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَشَرَةٍ قَالَ فَهُوَ وَأَنَا وَأَبِي وَأُمِّي وَلَا أَدْرِي هَلْ قَالَ امْرَأَتِي وَخَادِمٌ بَيْنَ بَيْتِنَا وَبَيْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1713
Abu 'Usman narrated that 'Abdur -Rahman bin Abi Bakr told him that Ashabus-Suffah were poor people. The Messenger of Allah(PBUH) said: "Whoever has food for two, let him take a third person with him; whoever has food for four, let him take a fifth and sixth person with him,” or words to that effect. Abu Bakr brought three people with him and the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) took ten people with him. He said: That was me and my father and my mother - and I do not know if he said; - and my wife and a servant whom we shared with the household of Abu Bakr (RA).
