أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :" أُتِيَ بِقَصْعَةٍ مِنْ ثَرِيدٍ "، فَوُضِعَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ الْقَوْمِ، فَتَعَاقَبُوهَا إِلَى الظُّهْرِ مِنْ غُدْوَةٍ، يَقُومُ قَوْمٌ وَيَجْلِسُ آخَرُونَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لِسَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ : أَمَا كَانَتْ تُمَدُّ؟، فَقَالَ سَمُرَةُ : مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَعْجَبُ؟ مَا كَانَتْ تُمَدُّ إِلَّا مِنْ هَا هُنَا، وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ

Othman bin Muhammad told us, Yazid bin Harun told us, Sulayman al-Taymi told us, on the authority of Abu Al-Ala, on the authority of Samurah bin Jundub, may God be pleased with him. On his authority, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “A piece of porridge was brought.” It was placed in front of the people, and they followed each other until noon. In the morning, some people would get up and others would sit, so a man said to Samurah ibn Jundub: Wasn’t she stretching? So Samurah said: What are you wondering about? It only extended from here, and he pointed with his hand to the sky.
