✧ I heard Wathilah b. al-Asqa' say: I was one of the People of the Suffah. My companions complained of hunger and said: "O Wathilah, go to the Messenger of God ﷺ and ask him for food for us." So I went to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of God, my companions are complaining of hunger." The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "O A'ishah, do you have anything?" She said: "O Messenger of God, I have nothing but crumbs of bread." He said: "Bring it." She came with a leather sack, and the Messenger of God called for a large dish. He emptied the bread into the dish, then began to fix the tharid with his own hands while it swelled until the dish was full. Then he said: "O Wathilah, go and bring ten of your companions, and you will be their tenth." So I went and brought ten of my companions, and I was their tenth. He said: "Sit down and take; in the name of God; take from its sides and do not take from its top, for the blessing descends from its top." They ate until they were full, then they stood up, and in the dish was the same amount as had been in it. Then he began to fix it with his hand while it swelled until it was full. Then he said: "O Wathilah, go and bring ten of your companions." So I brought ten, and he said: "Sit down." They sat and ate until they were full, then they stood up. Then he said: "Go and bring ten of your companions." So I went and brought ten, and they did the same. Then he said: "Is there anyone left?" I said: "Yes, ten." He said: "Go and bring them." So I went and brought them, and he said: "Sit down." They sat and ate until they were full, then they stood up, and there remained in the dish the same amount as before. Then he said: "O Wathilah, take this to A'ishah."
