[Machine] "When the man arrived in the city, he would have a guide with him, meaning a local who would host him. If he did not have a guide, he would stay at a hostel called As-Suffah. He said, 'I stayed at As-Suffah and accompanied a man who would bring us a basket of dates every day from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The dates were enough for two men, and we had nothing to eat except for dates and bread made from barley flour.' So, we went to our brothers from the Ansar, and their main food was dates. They shared their dates with us. I stood up and went to the pulpit and praised and thanked Allah. Then, I mentioned what I encountered among his people. I said, 'We stayed, my companion and I, for about fourteen days with nothing to eat except for dates and barley bread. We came to our brothers from the Ansar, and their main food was dates. They shared their dates with us. By Allah, if I had found bread and meat for you, I would have fed you. However, you may be in a time where you find something similar to the As-Shatair (the clothing of the Kaaba) to wear and a meal to eat.'  

كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَكَانَ لَهُ بِهَا يَعْنِي عَرِيفٌ نَزَلَ عَلَى عَرِيفِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بِهَا عَرِيفٌ نَزَلَ الصُّفَّةَ قَالَ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ نَزَلَ الصُّفَّةَ قَالَ فَرَافَقْتُ رَجُلًا فَكَانَ يُجْرَى عَلَيْنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مُدٌّ مِنْ تَمْرٍ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَنَادَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَحْرَقَ التَّمْرُ بُطُونَنَا قَالَ فَمَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى مِنْبَرِهِ فَصَعِدَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَا لَقِيَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ قَالَ حَتَّى مَكَثْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا الْبَرِيرُ وَالْبَرِيرُ ثَمَرُ الْأَرَاكِ فَقَدِمْنَا عَلَى إِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَعُظْمُ طَعَامِهِمُ التَّمْرُ فَوَاسَوْنَا فِيهِ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَجِدُ لَكُمُ الْخُبْزَ وَاللَّحْمَ لَأَطْعَمْتُكُمُوهُ وَلَكِنْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُدْرِكُونَ زَمَانًا أَوْ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْكُمْ يَلْبَسُونَ فِيهِ مِثْلَ أَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَيُغْدَى عَلَيْهِمْ وَيُرَاحُ بِالْجِفَانِ «  

[Machine] "When a man used to come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he did not have anyone in Madinah to host him, he would stay with the Unnabar companions. I had partners in this arrangement. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to visit us every day between two date trees and he would assign two days of dates for us. While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in some of the prayers, he was called by one of his companions saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, the dates are causing pain in our stomachs and our bodies are becoming weak.' When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, he stood up and praised Allah and extolled His virtues. Then he mentioned the hardship his people were going through. He said, 'So my companion and I had no food for a number of days except for barīr until we reached our brothers from the Ansar and they provided assistance and we were delighted with their food, which consisted mostly of dates. By the One besides Whom there is no true god, if I had found for you bread and meat, I would have fed you with that. And it is perhaps that you will reach a time or a place which those among you who reaches will be able to wear two cloaks of silk from the Ka'bah and you will be given bread and meat to eat and Myanmar on which to recline."  

كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَرِيفٌ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ نَزَلَ مَعَ أَصْحَابِ الصُّفَّةِ وَكَانَ لِي بِهَا قُرَنَاءُ وَكَانَ يَجْرِي عَلَيْنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ مُدَّانِ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَبَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ الصَّلَوَاتِ إِذَا نَادَاهُ مُنَادٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أْحَرَقَ التَّمْرُ بُطُونَنَا وَتَحَرَّقَتْ عَنَّا الْحَتْفُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ قَامَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَا لَقِيَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ مِنَ الشِّدَّةِ قَالَ «فَكُنْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبَيَّ بَضْعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا الْبَرِيرُ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَى إِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَوَاسَوْنَا فِي طَعَامِهِمْ وَعِظَمُ طَعَامِهِمِ التَّمْرُ وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَوْ أَجِدُ لَكُمِ الْخُبْزَ وَاللَّحْمَ لَأَطْعَمْتُكُمُوهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ تُدْرِكُوا زَمَانًا أَوْ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْكُمْ يَلْبَسُونَ فِيهِ مِثْلَ سِتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ يُغْدَى عَلَيْكُمْ وَيُرَاحُ فِيهِ بِالْجِفَانِ»  

"عَنْ أَبِى طَلحَةَ بْن عَمْرو البَصْرِىِّ قَالَ: كَانَ أَحَدُنَا إِذَا قَدِمَ المَدِينَةَ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَرِيف نَزَلَ عَلَى عَريفِه بغَيْرِ المَعْرِفَةِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَريف نَزَلَ الصُّفَّةَ، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَقْرنُ بَيْنَ الرجلَيْنِ وَيَرْزُقُهُما مُدّا كُل يَوْمٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَأتَيْتُ فَنَزَلت فِى الصُّفَّةِ مَعَ رَجُلٍ، فَكَانَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مُدّ مِنْ تَمْرٍ، فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بَعْضَ الصَّلَوَاتِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرفَ، قَالَ رَجُل من أَهْلِ الصُّفَّة يَا رَسُولَ الله: أَحْرقَ بُطُونَنَا التَّمْرُ وَتَخَرَّقتْ عَنَا الخُنُفُ، فَصَعدَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ ، فَخَطَبَ فَحَمِدَ الله، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، وَذَكر مَا لَقِىَ منْ قَوْمِهِ منَ الشِّدَّة والأذَى (حَتَّى قَالَ): لَقَدْ مَكَثْتُ أَنا وَصَاحِبى ثَمانِيةَ

عَشَرَ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً ومَا طَعَامُنَا إِلَّا البَريرُ، حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا المَدِينَةَ عَلَى إِخْوَانِنَا منَ الأنْصَارِ فَوَاسَوْنَا في طَعَامِهِمْ، وَعُظمُ طَعَامِهِمْ هَذَا التَّمْرُ، وَالله لَوْ وَجَدْتُ اللَّحْمَ وَالخبزَ لأطعَمْتُكُمُوهُ، وَلَكِنْ لَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْ تُدْرِكوا - أَوْ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْكُمْ - زَمَانًا تَلبَسُونَ فِيهِ مِثْلَ أَسْتَارِ الكَعْبَة، وَيُفْدَى عَلَيْكُمْ وَيُرَاحُ بِالجِفَانِ، أنْتُمُ اليَوْمَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ، أَنْتُمُ اليَوْمَ إِخْوَانٌ، وَأنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَضْربُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ".
