وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامُ الاِثْنَيْنِ كَافِي الثَّلاَثَةِ، وَطَعَامُ الثَّلاَثَةِ كَافِي الأَرْبَعَةِ ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ)) . وفى رِوَايَةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: طَعَامُ الْوَاحِدِ يَكْفِي الاِثْنَيْنِ وَطَعَامُ الاِثْنَيْنِ يَكْفِي الأَرْبَعَةَ، وَطَعَامُ الأَرْبَعَةِ يَكْفِي الثَّمَانِيَةَ.
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The food for two suffices for three; and the food for three suffices for four persons." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. In Muslim, Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The food for one person suffices for two; the food for two suffices for four, and the food for four suffices for eight persons."
