ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ سِمَاكَ بْنَ حَرْبٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ مِنَ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرِ

I heard Nu'man deliver an address in which he said that (Hadrat) Umar made a mention of what had fallen to the lot of people out of the material world and he said: I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ spend the whole day being upset because of hunger and he could not get even an interior quality of dates with which he could fill his belly.  

ذَكَرَ عُمَرُ مَا أَصَابَ النَّاسُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَظَلُّ الْيَوْمَ يَلْتَوِي مَا يَجِدُ دَقَلاً يَمْلأُ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ  

I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ feeling the pain of hunger and not being able to find enough to fill his stomach of inferior quality dates.  

لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَلْتَوِي مَا يَجِدُ مَا يَمْلَأُ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ
