Sahih Muslim 2059

Sahih Muslim · Book 36: The Book of Drinks · The virtue of sharing a small amount of food, and the food of two is sufficient for three, and so on.

Jabir reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ طَعَامُ الرَّجُلِ يَكْفِي رَجُلَيْنِ وَطَعَامُ رَجُلَيْنِ يَكْفِي أَرْبَعَةً وَطَعَامُ أَرْبَعَةٍ يَكْفِي ثَمَانِيَةً ‏" ‏ ‏.‏

Food for one (person) suffices two, and food for two (persons) suffices four persons and food for four persons suffices eight persons.
