٣٦۔ كتاب الزهد
"I entered upon 'Aishah and she invited me to eat. She said: 'Whenever I eat my fill of food I want to cry and begin crying.' He said: "I said : 'Why?' She said: 'I remember the circumstances under which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ parted from the world. By Allah! He would not eat his fill of bread and meat twice in a day.'"
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَدَعَتْ لِي بِطَعَامٍ وَقَالَتْ مَا أَشْبَعُ مِنْ طَعَامٍ فَأَشَاءُ أَنْ أَبْكِيَ إِلاَّ بَكَيْتُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِمَ قَالَتْ أَذْكُرُ الْحَالَ الَّتِي فَارَقَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الدُّنْيَا وَاللَّهِ مَا شَبِعَ مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلَحْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي يَوْمٍ
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not eat his fill of barley bread on two consecutive days until he was taken (died)."
مَا شَبِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ خُبْزِ شَعِيرٍ يَوْمَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ حَتَّى قُبِضَ
"Neither the Messenger of Allah ﷺ nor his family, ate their fill of wheat bread for three consecutive days until he parted the world."
مَا شَبِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَهْلُهُ ثَلاَثًا تِبَاعًا مِنْ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ
"There was never a surplus of barley bread for the inhabitants of the house of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يَقُولُ مَا كَانَ يَفْضُلُ عَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ خُبْزُ الشَّعِيرِ
" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would spend many consecutive nights and his family did not have supper, and most of the time their bread was barley bread."
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَبِيتُ اللَّيَالِيَ الْمُتَتَابِعَةَ طَاوِيًا وَأَهْلُهُ لاَ يَجِدُونَ عَشَاءً وَكَانَ أَكْثَرُ خُبْزِهِمْ خُبْزَ الشَّعِيرِ
"O Allah! Make the sustenance of Muhammad's family nourishing."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ رِزْقَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ قُوتًا
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ يَدَّخِرُ شَيْئًا لِغَدٍ
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never ate on a table, nor did he eat thin bread until he died."
مَا أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى خِوَانٍ وَلاَ أَكَلَ خُبْزًا مُرَقَّقًا حَتَّى مَاتَ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ
"Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ eat Naqi – meaning refined (flour)?” So Sahl said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not see Naqi until he met Allah.” It was said to him: “Did you have sifters during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” He said: “There were no sifters for us.” They said: “How did you prepare the barley?”He said: “We would blow it so (the husk) would fly off of it, then we would add water so we could knead it.” (Hasan)
أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ يَعْنِي الْحُوَّارَى فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّقِيَّ حَتَّى لَقِيَ اللَّهَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ هَلْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ مَنَاخِلُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا كَانَتْ لَنَا مَنَاخِلُ قِيلَ فَكَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ بِالشَّعِيرِ قَالَ كُنَّا نَنْفُخُهُ فَيَطِيرُ مِنْهُ مَا طَارَ ثُمَّ نُثَرِّيهِ فَنَعْجِنُهُ
