Sunan Ibn Majah 3339 (Book 29, Hadith 89) #32693
Generosity of Anas bin Malik

SUMMARY: Anas bin Malik was a generous host who served his guests with the best food he could offer.

Qatadah said: "We used to go to (visit) Anas bin Malik". (One of the narrators) Ishaq said: "And his baker was standing there". (In another narration) Darimi said: "And his table was set. He said one day: '(Come and) eat, for the Messenger of Allah never saw any thin loaf of bread until he met Allah, nor any roasted sheep (with skin).’"*
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَأْتِي أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ - قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ وَخَبَّازُهُ قَائِمٌ وَقَالَ الدَّارِمِيُّ وَخِوَانُهُ مَوْضُوعٌ - فَقَالَ يَوْمًا كُلُوا فَمَا أَعْلَمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ رَأَى رَغِيفًا مُرَقَّقًا بِعَيْنِهِ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ شَاةً سَمِيطًا قَطُّ
