[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to send us on secret missions, saying, "O my son, we have no provisions except the dates that have been distributed among us. He would then distribute them handful by handful until it becomes one date after another. I asked him, 'O my father, how can dates be sufficient for you?' He replied, 'Do not say that, O my son. After we lose it, we will long for it.'"
لَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَبْعَثُنَا فِي السَّرِيَّةِ يَا بُنَيَّ مَا لَنَا زَادٌ إِلَّا السَّلْفُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ فَيَقْسِمُهُ قَبْضَةً قَبْضَةً حَتَّى يَصِيرَ إِلَى تَمْرَةٍ تَمْرَةٍ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَتِ وَمَا عَسَى أَنْ تُغْنِيَ التَّمْرَةُ عَنْكُمْ قَالَ لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ يَا بُنَيَّ فَبَعْدَ أَنْ فَقَدْنَاهَا فَاخْتَلَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا
