ahmad:24232Yaḥyá > Hishām from my father > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] He used to come to the family of Muhammad ﷺ during the month in which they would light a fire containing nothing but dates and water, except that we would also be provided with meat.  

أحمد:٢٤٢٣٢حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ يَأْتِي عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ الشَّهْرُ مَا يُوقِدُونَ فِيهِ نَارًا لَيْسَ إِلَّا التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ إِلَّا أَنْ نُؤْتَى بِاللَّحْمِ

bukhari:6458Muḥammad b. al-Muthanná > Yaḥyá > Hishām from my father > ʿĀʾishah

A complete month would pass by during which we would not make a fire (for cooking), and our food used to be only dates and water unless we were given a present of some meat.  

البخاري:٦٤٥٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ

كَانَ يَأْتِي عَلَيْنَا الشَّهْرُ مَا نُوقِدُ فِيهِ نَارًا إِنَّمَا هُوَ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ إِلاَّ أَنْ نُؤْتَى بِاللُّحَيْمِ
