I saw that the Prophet ﷺ took a piece of bread of barley and put a date on it and said: This is the condiment of this.  

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَخَذَ كِسْرَةً مِنْ خُبْزِ شَعِيرٍ فَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهَا تَمْرَةً وَقَالَ هَذِهِ إِدَامُ هَذِهِ  

A family which has no dates will be hungry.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْتٌ لاَ تَمْرَ فِيهِ جِيَاعٌ أَهْلُهُ
