of food remained as at the beginning. Abu Hurayrah said that if all the peoples of the world had come to him, they would have been sufficed. Bukhari.
The Prophet told Abu Hurayrah to invite, on his behalf, all the homeless Companions from their raised flooring (Suffa) in the Mosque. When all were gathered a plate of food was set before them, and they each ate whatever they wished and then left. After all had eaten, the plate of food remained as it had been when first presented to him, the only difference being there were finger marks on it.
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.
