Hadith 1702

ENGLISH

It was narrated that "Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr said:

Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) came with a guest or guests, then he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) . And he mentioned that he ate some of it.
