13.48.2

وكانت عادته أن يطعم أصحابه عند الصباح خبزا وفولا فكان الخبازون والفوالون يستبقون إلى زاويته فيأخذ منهم مقدار ما يكفي الفقراء، ويقول لمن أخذ منه ذلك: أقعد حتى يأخذ أول ما يفتح به عليه في ذلك اليوم قليلا كثيرا.

His custom was to feed his companions bread and beans in the morning, and the bakers and bean-sellers would race each other to his hospice. He would take from them as much as would suffice the poor, and say to the one he had taken it from, "Sit down," until he received the first thing that God opened to him that day, whether little or much.
