When the tribe of Abdul Muttalib met together, there being forty in number, Ali, Abu Talib's son tells us the Prophet placed a small measure of food before them, from which they all ate until they were replete. The food that remained, was equal to that at the beginning of the meal. Then, the Prophet asked for a cup, and they all drank from it, until their thirst was quenched, and the same amount remained in the cup just as if none had drunk from it.
An apartment was built for Lady Zaynab, may Allah be pleased with her, and Anas tells us that the Prophet asked him to invite certain people to the apartment. The apartment was full, and a container with some prepared dates was brought to the Prophet into which he dipped three fingers. The invitees began to eat, and then leave, and there remained in the container the same amount as at the beginning. Seventy-one or seventy-two people accepted the invitation.
In another rendering of the preceding miracle it reads, "There were about three hundred people. I, (Anas) was told to take the bowl away, and commented, 'I do not know whether there was more in it than when I put it down, or when I had picked it up."
Abdullah, Jabir's father passed away in debt. Jabir offered his capital to his father's creditors who were Jews, but they refused the offer, and there were insufficient dates in the harvest to repay two years of debts. The Prophet told Jabir to divide the creditors into groups, beginning with the basic debts, and to tell him once he had done so. The Prophet went amongst the creditors and Jabir paid his father's debts in full. After all had been paid, what remained was the usual crop of dates harvested each year. It has also been reported the same amount that had been used to repay remained. The creditors were astounded!
Abu Hurayrah also tells us of the time, when he was in the company of the Prophet and felt very hungry, whereupon the Prophet asked him to accompany him. A cup of milk had been given to the Prophet , so he asked the people of the Suffa to come. Abu Hurayrah, who was weak from hunger asked, "Is the milk for them? I am in greater need of it to regain my strength." Abu Hurayrah did as he was asked, and called the people to come and drink. Each of the people of the Suffa drank from the milk, until they were satisfied, then the Prophet took the cup and said, "You and I remain, sit and drink". Abu Hurayrah started to drink, and the Prophet kept telling him to drink more until he exclaimed, 'No, by the One who sent you with the truth, there is no room for anymore, whereupon the Prophet took the cup, praised Allah and said, "In the Name of Allah", and drank the remainder.
