حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّقِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامُ الْوَاحِدِ يَکْفِي الِاثْنَيْنِ وَطَعَامُ الِاثْنَيْنِ يَکْفِي الْأَرْبَعَةَ وَطَعَامُ الْأَرْبَعَةِ يَکْفِي الثَّمَانِيَةَ
