طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو النَّصْرِيُّ
[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»
