Book Name:Shan-e-Abu Huraira

صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave them permission, and thus, they entered and sat down.

The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Abu Hurayrah!’ ‘Labbayk,’ I replied. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Take the bowl and give the milk to them.’ Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ states: I took the bowl, and I gave that bowl to one individual, he would drink till his fill and then return the bowl to me. This continued until I reached the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and everyone else had drank their fill. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then took the bowl and placed it on his hand. Then he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم looked towards me, smiled and said, ‘Abu Hurayrah!’ ‘Labbayk,’ I replied. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Only me and you remain.’ I said, ‘You have spoken the truth.’ Whereupon, he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Sit and drink,’ so, I sat and began to drink the milk. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Drink,’ so, I drank. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم continued to say ‘Drink,’ until I said, ‘No, by the One who sent you with the truth! It is not possible anymore.’ He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم then said, ‘Show me.’ Thus, I presented the bowl. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم praised Allah Almighty, recited ‘بِسْمِ اللہ’ and drank the rest of the milk. (Bukhari, vol. 4, p. 234, Hadith 6452, summarised)

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! This is a great miracle of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that all of the People of Suffah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم, i.e. 70 individuals, could not finish a bowl of milk.

A short introduction to Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ
