1. As related by Anas ibn Malik, Abu Talha, on seeing God's Messenger hungry, invited him to a meal. The Messenger came with a crowd of people. Abu Talha had only one loaf of rye bread at home. Umm Sulaym, Abu Talha's wife, spread some butter on it. The Messenger prayed for abundance, and since there was not enough space for all the people, they ate of the bread ten by ten and left satisfied. They were about seventy to eighty people.

2. As another example, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr relates that they, one hundred and thirty Companions, were in the company of God's Messenger during an expedition. The Messenger asked them whether they had something to eat. One of them had about one or two sacks of flour. Dough was prepared to make bread and a sheep was bought from a polytheist who happened to pass by with his flock. They roasted the liver of the sheep, which the Messenger divided among those present, giving each a piece of it, and put aside the share of those who were not present there then. They cooked the meat in two bowls and everyone ate of it. After they finished eating all satisfied, the meat was still as if no one had eaten of it at all.

There are many other examples of this kind of miracle. They were all transmitted through various 'sometimes as many as sixteen' channels. Most of them took place in the presence of large assemblies and were narrated by many persons of truth and good repute.

The One Who created the universe and made its operation dependent on certain laws that He established, is certainly able to change those laws for His special, beloved servant and envoy. Especially in our day, when scientists have already abandoned the mechanistic notion of the universe and defend relativity in its operation, it is not a rational or scientific attitude to, on the basis of absolute determinism or causality, deny miracles. Furthermore, miracles do not occur as completely free from material causes, however slight and insignificant they are. Given that we see how God Almighty causes the smallest things to produce very great entities 'He creates man from a microscopic sperm and enables man's memory to contain as much knowledge as can fill a library' how can we dare to deny miracles? Is not the creation of man who, though essentially so weak as to be defeated by a microbe, is endowed with such faculties as to make computers which keep in their memories as much knowledge as can fill libraries, a lesser miracle than enabling a servant of His to give some food or drink a blessed increase. Indeed, is not every occurrence in the universe, every act of God, really a miracle, the like of which we are unable to make?
