Reporting his father, Imam
al-Sadiq (a.s) says, “During the time of the Holy Prophet, the needy had to
spend nights in the mosque because they had no home. One evening, the Holy
Prophet broke his fast with the needy in the mosque in a stone vessel. Since
the food had been blessed by the Holy Prophet, thirty people ate from it and
they took the rest of the food for their wives.” (Qurb al-Isnad: 44 )
