Hadith text

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:When the Trench was dug, I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) in the state of severe hunger. So I returned to my wife and said, "Have you got anything (to eat), for I have seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in a state of severe hunger." She brought out for me, a bag containing one Sa of barley, and we had a domestic she animal (i.e. a kid) which I slaughtered then, and my wife ground the barley and she finished at the time I finished my job (i.e. slaughtering the kid). Then I cut the meat into pieces and put it in an earthenware (cooking) pot, and returned to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . My wife said, "Do not disgrace me in front of Allah's Apostle and those who are with him." So I went to him and said to him secretly, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have slaughtered a she-animal (i.e. kid) of ours, and we have ground a Sa of barley which was with us. So please come, you and another person along with you." The Prophet (ﷺ) raised his voice and said, "O people of Trench ! Jabir has prepared a meal so let us go." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "Don't put down your earthenware meat pot (from the fireplace) or bake your dough till I come." So I came (to my house) and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) too, came, proceeding before the people. When I came to my wife, she said, "May Allah do so-and-so to you." I said, "I have told the Prophet (ﷺ) of what you said." Then she brought out to him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) the dough, and he spat in it and invoked for Allah's Blessings in it. Then he proceeded towards our earthenware meat-pot and spat in it and invoked for Allah's Blessings in it. Then he said (to my wife). Call a lady-baker to bake along with you and keep on taking out scoops from your earthenware meat-pot, and do not put it down from its fireplace." They were onethousand (who took their meals), and by Allah they all ate, and when they left the food and went away, our earthenware pot was still bubbling (full of meat) as if it had not decreased, and our dough was still being baked as if nothing had been taken from it

Jabir bin Abdullah bataate hain: Jab Khaee khodi ja rahi thi, maine Nabi ko sakht bhookh ki haalat mein dekha. Isliye main apni biwi ke paas wapas gaya aur kaha, "Kya tumhare paas kuch (khaane ke liye) hai, kyunke maine Allah ke Rasool ko sakht bhookh ki haalat mein dekha hai." Unhone ek Sa jau bhara hua ek thaila nikala, aur humare paas ek paaltu janwar tha (yaani ek bakri) jise maine tab zabah kiya, aur meri biwi ne jau pisi aur unhone usi waqt khatm ki jab maine apna kaam (yaani zabah karna) khatm kiya. Phir maine gosht ke tukde kate aur unhe ek mitti ke (khaana pakane ke) bartan mein daale, aur Allah ke Rasool ke paas wapas gaya. Meri biwi ne kaha, "Mujhe Allah ke Rasool aur unke saath ke logon ke saamne apman mat karo." Isliye main unke paas gaya aur unse aahiste se kaha, "Ya Allah ke Rasool! Maine apni ek paaltu janwar (yaani bakri) zabah ki hai, aur humare paas jau ka jo ek Sa tha use bhi hamne pisa hai. Isliye kripya aiye, aap aur ek doosra shaks aapke saath." Nabi ne apni aawaaz buland ki aur kaha, "Aye khaee ke logo! Jabir ne khaana taiyaar kiya hai, isliye chalo." Allah ke Rasool ne mujhse kaha, "Apna mitti ka gosht ka bartan (chulhe se) neeche mat rakhna ya apni roti tandoor mein mat pakaana jab tak main wahaan na pahunch jaaunga." Isliye main (apne ghar) aaya, aur Allah ke Rasool bhi aaye, logon se pahle chalte hue. Jab main apni biwi ke paas pahuncha, unhone kaha, "Allah tumse aisa-aisa kare (yaani daanta)." Maine kaha, "Maine Nabi ko jo tumne kaha woh bata diya." Phir unhonne unke (yaani Nabi ke) saamne aata pesh kiya, aur Nabi ne usmein thooka aur usmein barkat ke liye Allah se dua ki. Phir woh humare mitti ke gosht wale bartan ki taraf gaye aur usmein bhi thooka aur usmein barkat ke liye Allah se dua ki. Phir unhone kaha (meri biwi se), "Ek roti banane wali aurat ko bulao jo tumhare saath roti banane mein madad kare, aur apne mitti ke bartan se scoop nikalte raho, ise (chulhe se) neeche mat rakhna." Woh (khaane wale) ek hazaar the, aur Allah ki qasam, sab ne khaya, aur jab woh khaana chhodkar chale gaye, humara mitti ka bartan abhi bhi ubal raha tha mano usmein kuch kam nahi hua, aur humari roti abhi bhi banaee ja rahi thi mano usmein se kuch liya hi nahi gaya.
