Sharing Food Among Many

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that a small amount of food can be shared among many people.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah 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 said, "The food for one person suffices for two; the food for two suffices for four, and the food for four suffices for eight persons".
وعنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏ "‏ طعام الاثنين كافي الثلاثة، وطعام الثلاثة كافي الأربعة‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏ وفى رواية لمسلم عن جابر رضي الله عنه ، عن النبي قال‏:‏ طعام الواحد يكفي الاثنين وطعام الاثنين يكفي الأربعة، وطعام الأربعة يكفي الثمانية‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of sharing what we have with others. It is a reminder that even if we have little, it can still go a long way when shared among many people. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to not be wasteful and to share our resources with those who are in need. He also reminded us that Allah will provide for us if we are generous and kind to others. We should strive to practice this teaching in our daily lives by being mindful of how much food we consume and by sharing what we have with those around us who may not have as much as we do.
