The question

What is the explanation of Salamah's Hadith: "A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asking for food, so he fed him half a wasq of barley. The man, his wife, and their guest kept eating from it until he weighed it. Then he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, 'Had you not eaten it, you would have continued to eat from it, and it would have lasted for you,'" and what are the lessons learned from it?

The answer

This is an authentic Hadith reported by Muslim and Ahmad. Among its benefits are: abandoning greed, strengthening trust in Allah, thanking Allah for blessings, the blessing of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the power of Allah the Almighty. It has corroborating evidence, including Aisha's hadith about the blessing of unmeasured food.
