Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِقَصْعَةٍ فِيهَا ثَرِيدٌ فَتَعَاقَبُوهَا إِلَى الظُّهْرِ مِنْ غُدْوَةٍ يَقُومُ نَاسٌ وَيَقْعُدُ آخَرُونَ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ هَلْ كَانَتْ تُمَدُّ قَالَ فَمِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَعْجَبُ مَا كَانَتْ تُمَدُّ إِلَّا مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ.
English Translation
Yazid ibn Harun told us, Sulayman al-Taymi told us, from Abu al-'Ala', from Samurah ibn Jundub, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was brought a bowl of tharid, and they took turns eating it until midday from morning — people would stand up and others would sit down. A man said to him, 'Was it being replenished?' He said, 'Why are you surprised? It was only being replenished from up there,' and he pointed to the sky.
