“When the Prophet ﷺ passed away, there was nothing in my house that any living soul could eat, except a little bit of barley on a shelf of mine. I ate it for a long time, then I weighed it and soon it was all gone.”  

لَقَدْ تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَا فِي بَيْتِي مِنْ شَىْءٍ يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ إِلاَّ شَطْرُ شَعِيرٍ فِي رَفٍّ لِي فَأَكَلْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى طَالَ عَلَىَّ فَكِلْتُهُ فَفَنِيَ  

“The family of Muhammad ﷺ never ate their fill of barley bread until he was taken (i.e. died).”  

مَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ مِنْ خُبْزِ الشَّعِيرِ حَتَّى قُبِضَ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to spend many nights in a row hungry and his family could find no supper, and usually their bread was barley bread.”  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَبِيتُ اللَّيَالِيَ الْمُتَتَابِعَةَ طَاوِيًا وَأَهْلُهُ لاَ يَجِدُونَ الْعَشَاءَ وَكَانَ عَامَّةَ خُبْزِهِمْ خُبْزُ الشَّعِيرِ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore wool, and his shows were sandals.”  

لَبِسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصُّوفَ وَاحْتَذَى الْمَخْصُوفَ وَقَالَ أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَشِعًا وَلَبِسَ خَشِنًا فَقِيلَ لِلْحَسَنِ مَا الْبَشِعُ قَالَ غَلِيظُ الشَّعِيرِ مَا كَانَ يُسِيغُهُ إِلاَّ بِجُرْعَةِ مَاءٍ
