أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَا: حدثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، حدثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ، أخبرنا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حدثنا أَبَانُ، حدثنا قَتَادَةُ، حدثنا أَنَسٌ،
" أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَجْتَمِعْ لَهُ غَدَاءٌ وَلَا عَشَاءٌ مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلَحْمٍ إِلَّا عَلَى ضَفَفٍ " يَعْنِي جَمَاعَةً قَالَ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " هَكَذَا وَجَدْتُ التَّفْسِيرَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ لَا أَدْرِي مَنْ قَالَهُ " وَقَدْ قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ يَقُولُ: " لَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَحْدَهُ وَلَكِنْ مَعَ النَّاسِ " وقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى: " الضَّفَفُ أَنْ تكُونَ الْأَكَلَةُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ مِقْدَارِ الطَّعَامِ، وَالْحَفَفُ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِمِقْدَارِهِ وَقِيلَ: الضَّفَفُ الضِّيقُ وَالشِّدَّةُ، يقُولُ: لَمْ يَجْتَمِعْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا بِضِيقٍ وَشِدَّةٍ "

"The Prophet of God ﷺ never had a morning meal or an evening meal of bread and meat together, except with a ḍafaf," meaning a group of people. Al-Bayhaqī, may God have mercy on him, said: "This is how I found the explanation in the hadith; I do not know who said it." Abū ʿUbayd said: "He would say: 'He did not eat alone, but with the people.'" Aḥmad b. Yaḥyā said: "The ḍafaf is when the eaters outnumber the amount of food, and the ḥafaf is when the food matches their number." It was also said: "The ḍafaf is narrowness and hardship; he means that he did not have that together except in narrowness and hardship."
