Narrated Abdulrahman Bin Abu Bakr: Abu Bakr invited a group of people and told me; Look after your guests. Abu Bakr added; I am going to visit the Prophet ﷺ and you should finish serving them before I return. Abdulrahman said; So I went at once and served them with what was available at that time in the house and requested them to eat. They said; Where is the owner of the house i.e.; Abu Bakr ? Abdulrahman said; Take your meal. They said; We will not eat till the owner of the house comes. Abdulrahman said; Accept your meal from us; for if my father comes and finds you not having taken your meal yet; we will be blamed severely by him; but they refused to take their meals. So I was sure that my father would be angry with me. When he came; I went away to hide myself from him. He asked; What have you done about the guests ? They informed him the whole story. Abu Bakr called; O Abdulrahman I kept quiet. He then called again. O Abdulrahman I kept quiet and he called again; O ignorant boy ! I beseech you by Allah; if you hear my voice; then come out! I came out and said; Please ask your guests and do not be angry with me. They said; He has told the truth; he brought the meal to us. He said; As you have been waiting for me; by Allah; I will not eat of it tonight. They said; By Allah; we will not eat of it till you eat of it. He said; I have never seen a night like this night in evil. What is wrong with you? Why dont you accept your meals of hospitality from us? He said to me ; Bring your meal. I brought it to him; and he put his hand in it; saying; In the name of Allah. The first state of fury was because of Satan. So Abu Bakr ate and so did his guests.
