The Host Who Shared Everything
A very hungry man came to the Prophet ﷺ, who had no food at home to give him, so Abu Talha Al-Ansari offered to host him. At home there was only enough for the children, so Abu Talha and his wife Umm Sulaym put the children to sleep, served the guest, and put out the lamp so he would think they were eating too. The next morning the Prophet ﷺ told Abu Talha that Allah was pleased with what they had done.
