Sahih Muslim Book - 36, Hadith - 5323

وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى التُّجِيبِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ ، أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، يَقُولُ : جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فَوَجَدْتُهُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ ، وَقَدْ عَصَّبَ بَطْنَهُ بِعِصَابَةٍ ، قَالَ أُسَامَةُ : وَأَنَا أَشُكُّ عَلَى حَجَرٍ ، فَقُلْتُ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ لِمَ عَصَّبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَطْنَهُ ؟ فَقَالُوا : مِنَ الْجُوعِ ، فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ وَهُوَ زَوْجُ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ بِنْتِ مِلْحَانَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَبَتَاهُ ، قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ عَصَّبَ بَطْنَهُ بِعِصَابَةٍ ، فَسَأَلْتُ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالُوا : مِنَ الْجُوعِ ، فَدَخَلَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ عَلَى أُمِّي ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : نَعَمْ ، عِنْدِي كِسَرٌ مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَتَمَرَاتٌ ، فَإِنْ جَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحْدَهُ أَشْبَعْنَاهُ ، وَإِنْ جَاءَ آخَرُ مَعَهُ قَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ... ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ سَائِرَ الْحَدِيثِ بِقِصَّتِهِ.

Anas bin Malik said: "I came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and I found him sitting with his Companions and talking to them, and he had bound his stomach with a cloth." - Usamah (a narrator) said: "And I am not sure whether he had tied a stone to it." - "I (Anas) said to some of his (s.a.w) Companions: 'Why has the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) bound his stomach?' They said: 'Because of hunger.' I went to Abu Talhah, who was the husband of Umm Sulaim bint Milhan, and I said: 'O my father, I have seen the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) with his stomach bound with a cloth, and I asked some of his Companions, and they said it is because of hunger.' Abu Talhah entered upon my mother and said: 'Is there anything?' She said: 'Yes, I have some pieces of bread and some dates. If the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) comes to us on his own, we can give him enough for him to eat his fill, but if someone else comes with him it will not be enough for them."' Then he mentioned the rest of the story (as in Hadith no. 5317).
