Sahih al-Bukhari 5909 (Book 78, Hadith 168)
came, my mother said (to him), “Have you been detained from your guest or guests tonight?” He said,
“Haven’t you served the supper to them?” She replied, “We presented the meal to him (or to them), but
he (or they) refused to eat.” Abu Bakr became angry, rebuked me and invoked Allah to cause (my)
ears to be cut and swore not to eat of it!” I hid myself, and he called me, “O ignorant (boy)!” Abu
Bakr’s wife swore that she would not eat of it and so the guests or the guest swore that they would not
eat of it till he ate of it. Abu Bakr said, “All that happened was from Satan.” So he asked for the meals
and ate of it, and so did they. Whenever they took a handful of the meal, the meal grew (increased)
from underneath more than that mouthful. He said (to his wife), “O, sister of Bani Firas! What is
this?” She said, “O, pleasure of my eyes! The meal is now more than it had been before we started
eating” So they ate of it and sent the rest of that meal to the Prophet. It is said that the Prophet (ﷺ) also ate
of it.
