Masjid Bani Haram...!

 This small mosque in Madinah is connected to a story where one small meal fed 1,000 hungry men.

This is Masjid Bani Haram, Madinah, Saudi Arabia in the area where the Banu Haram lived and where the home of the Companion Jabir ibn Abdullah (RA) was located.

During the Battle of the Trench, Jabir (RA) saw the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) suffering from severe hunger.

He hurried home.

His wife had only one small young goat and a measure of barley.

They prepared the food, and Jabir (RA) quietly invited the Prophet (PBUH), asking Him to bring only a few companions.

But the Prophet (PBUH) called out:

“O people of the Trench! Jabir has prepared a meal, so come.”

Jabir (RA) was overwhelmed.

What had been prepared for a few people was now facing an entire army.

The Prophet (PBUH) blessed the food and served His companions.

One thousand people ate until they were satisfied.

And when they left, the pot was still full of meat, and the dough was still being baked.

A tiny meal became enough for a thousand.

That day, people saw that when Allah places barakah in something, numbers are no longer the measure of what is possible.
