ةﺎﺳاﻮﻤﻟا رﺎﺜﻳﻹا بﺎﺑ
Selflessness and Sympathy
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"And give them (Emigrants) preference over themselves, even though they were in need of that.''
(59:9)
"And they give food, in spite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to the poor, the orphan, and the
captive.''
(76:8)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said; "I am
hard pressed by hunger.
''
He (PBUH) sent a word to one of his wives who replied: "By Him Who has sent you with
the Truth, I have nothing except water.'' Then he sent the same message to another (wife) and received the same
reply. He sent this message to all of them (i.e., his wives) and received the same reply. Then he (PBUH) said,
"Who
will entertain this (man) as guest?''
One of the Ansar said: "O Messenger of Allah, I will
.
'' So he took him home and
said to his wife: "Serve the guest of Messenger of Allah (PBUH).''
Another narration is: The Ansari asked his wife: "Have you got anything?'' She answered: "Nothing, except a little
food for the children.'' He said: "Keep them busy with something, and when they ask for food put them to sleep.
When the guest enters, extinguish the light and give him the impression that we are also eating.'' So they sat down
and the guest ate and they passed the night hungry. When he came to the Prophet (PBUH) in the morning, he said to
him,
"Allah admired what you did with your guest last night.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith describes a unique example of hospitality and kindness liked by Allah. It imparts to man
the sense of self-sacrifice and a feeling of fellowship.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"The food for two
suffices for three; and the food for three suffices for four persons.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
In Muslim, Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"The food for one person
suffices for two; the food for two suffices for four, and the food fof four suffices for eight persons.''
Commentary:
We are told that if on some occasion a host feels that the prepared food is too little to feed his guests,
all of them should willingly share it with each other. This will be both blessing and rewarding from Allah.
