„Sister of Bani Firas, what is this?‟ She said, „By what delights my
eye, it is now three times more than it was.‟ Abu Bakr said, „My oath
not to eat of it was prompted by satan‟ and he ate a mouthful of it
and then took it to the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be
upon him, where it remained until the morning.
This happened at a time during which the period of truce we had
made with a tribe had expired and twelve of us had been appointed
as scouts, each of the twelve had men under him, Allah alone
knows how many there were and they all ate from the food.”
We are also informed:
“Abu Bakr took an oath that he would not eat any of it, and his wife
did the same and his guests swore they would not eat unless Abu
Bakr also ate. Thereupon he said, „My oath was incited by satan‟, so
he called for the food and he and they ate. For each mouthful they
took there rose up from under it more than its equal.
