Sahih Muslim 2058 (Book 36, Hadith 241) #12469
Sharing Food Among Many

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that a small amount of food can be shared among more people than expected.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Food for two persons suffices three persons and food for three persons suffices four persons.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ طَعَامُ الاِثْنَيْنِ كَافِي الثَّلاَثَةِ وَطَعَامُ الثَّلاَثَةِ كَافِي الأَرْبَعَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Share your resources with others who may need them; Be mindful when consuming food or other resources; Think about how you can use what you have to help those in need; Strive to emulate the example set by Prophet Muhammad PBUH .

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Huraira teaches us the importance of sharing and being generous with our resources. It is a reminder that even if we have limited resources, we can still share it with others and it will be enough for everyone. This hadith encourages us to think about how we can use what we have to help those in need, rather than hoarding it for ourselves. It also reminds us that Allah provides for all of His creation, so if we are generous with what He has given us, He will provide more in return.

The Prophet Muhammad's teachings on generosity and sharing are timeless lessons that apply to all generations. We should strive to emulate his example by being mindful of how much food or other resources we consume and making sure there is enough left over for others who may not have as much as us. By doing this, not only will our own needs be met but also those around us who may need help in times of hardship or difficulty.
