Sharing Food with Others

SUMMARY: The food for two people is enough for three, and the food of three people is enough for four.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "The food for two persons is sufficient for three, and the food of three persons is sufficient for four persons".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ طَعَامُ الاِثْنَيْنِ كَافِي الثَّلاَثَةِ، وَطَعَامُ الثَّلاَثَةِ كَافِي الأَرْبَعَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Share your resources generously
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of sharing and being generous with our resources. Allah's Messenger, Muhammad ﷺ, taught us that even if we have limited resources, we can still share it with others. He said that the food of two persons is sufficient for three and the food of three persons is sufficient for four. This means that even if you don't have a lot to give, you can still share what you have with others in need. It also teaches us to be content with what we have and not to be wasteful or greedy when it comes to our resources.
