Arabic hadith text

وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْكُلُ طَعَامًا فِي سِتَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَأَكَلَهُ بِلُقْمَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَوْ سَمَّى لَكَفَاكُمْ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَأُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ هِيَ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ‏.‏

Through this same chain, from ‘A’ishah, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was eating food with six of his Companions when a Bedouin came and ate it in two mouthfuls. The Messenger of Allah said, “Indeed, had he mentioned Allah’s name, it would have sufficed for all of you.”

Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih. Umm Kulthum was the daughter of Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him.

  • “Through this same chain” links this report to the preceding isnad. The Arabic wording can mean the Prophet was sharing food with six Companions; this has been rendered without specifying whether six includes him.
