Sunan Ibn Majah 3342 (Book 29, Hadith 92) #32696
The Generosity of the Prophet (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) was invited to eat some bread with ghee by Umm Sulaim and he accepted the invitation. He then asked Anas to bring in the people in groups of ten, and they all ate their fill.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "Umm Sulaim made some bread for the Prophet , and she put a little ghee on it. Then she said: 'Go to the Prophet and invite him (to come and eat).’ So I went and told him: 'My mother is inviting you (to come and eat).’ So he stood up, and said to the people who were with him: 'Get up.’ I went ahead of him and told her. Then the Prophet came and said: 'Bring what you have made.’ She said: 'I only made it for you alone.’ He said: 'Bring it.’ Then he said: 'O Anas, bring (them) in to me ten by ten.’ So I kept bringing them in ten by ten, and they ate their fill, and there were eighty of them".
