How thirty people ate in the dark
Sheikh Abul Hasan Antaki (RA.) lived in Raye, a city
in Khorassan. One day, it chanced that the Sheikh had
more than thirty guests, while he did not have
sufficient bread with him. He could not bake more
bread, for, it was late at night. So, he broke the few
loaves he had into small pieces and spread them over a
piece of cloth, which he had laid before his guests.
When they were going to start eating, the Sheikh put
out the lamp. Everybody seemed to start eating and one
could hear the sound of their chewing. After a while,
the sound stopped and it was presumed that everybody
had finished eating. The Sheikh then lighted the lamp
and they saw that all the pieces were lying untouched;
nobody had eaten anything. Because the food was
little, everyone was thinking about his brothers next
to him and wanted them to eat instead.
