Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ الصُّفَّةِ كَانُوا أُنَاسًا فُقَرَاءَ وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ اثْنَيْنِ فَلْيَذْهَبْ بِثَلَاثَةٍ وَمَنْ
كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طَعَامُ أَرْبَعَةٍ فَلْيَذْهَبْ بِخَامِسٍ بِسَادِسٍ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ وَأَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ جَاءَ بِثَلَاثَةٍ وَانْطَلَقَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَشَرَةٍ قَالَ فَهُوَ وَأَنَا وَأَبِي وَأُمِّي وَلَا أَدْرِي هَلْ قَالَ امْرَأَتِي وَخَادِمٌ بَيْنَ بَيْتِنَا وَبَيْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ

English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Mu'tamir ibn Sulayman narrated to us. He said: I heard my father say: Abu 'Uthman narrated to us that 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr (رضي الله عنهما) narrated to him that the People of the Suffah were poor folk, and that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever has food for two, let him take three. And whoever has food for four, let him take a fifth or sixth,' or as he said. Abu Bakr brought three, and the Prophet ﷺ of Allah ﷺ took ten. He said: It was him, myself, my father, and my mother, and I do not know if he said 'my wife,' and a servant shared between our house and Abu Bakr's house (رضي الله تعالى عنه).
