Several Hands Should Come Together for Food

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) طَعَامُ الْوَاحِدِ يَكْفِي الِاثْنَيْنِ وَ طَعَامُ الِاثْنَيْنِ يَكْفِي الثَّلَاثَةَ وَ طَعَامُ الثَّلَاثَةِ يَكْفِي الْأَرْبَعَةَ .
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Food for one is sufficient for two, food for two is sufficient for three and food for three is sufficient for four people.”’
