Question:
What is the meaning of "So I left it to them, and it was exhausted"?
Answer:
It means: when she measured it out, it was exhausted; they ate it until it was gone. The meaning is that not measuring is better; one should eat from what is available until it is gone.
Q: Is it taken from the action that the best is not to measure?
A: Not measuring is better, so one should not test it every hour and ask: how far has it gone? No, one should eat, and praise be to Allah, and eat until it is gone; this is more blessed.
