حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ , وَفَاطِمَةَ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، صَنَعْتُ سُفْرَةً لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ حِينَ أَرَادَا الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : لِأَبِي مَا أَجِدُ شَيْئًا أَرْبِطُهُ إِلَّا نِطَاقِي ، قَالَ : فَشُقِّيهِ , فَفَعَلْتُ فَسُمِّيتُ ذَاتَ النِّطَاقَيْنِ .
Narrated Asma: I prepared the journey food for the Prophet and Abu Bakr when they wanted (to migrate to) Medina. I said to my father (Abu Bakr), "I do not have anything to tie the container of the journey food with except my waist belt." He said, "Divide it lengthwise into two." I did so, and for this reason I was named 'Dhat-un-Nitaqain' (i.e. the owner of two belts). (Ibn `Abbas said, "Asma', Dhat-un-Nitaq.")

Hadith Commentary:
She is the daughter of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (radi Allahu anhu). She is known as "Dhat an-Nitaqayn" (the possessor of the two waistbands). This is because, on the night of the Hijrah (migration), she tore her waistband into two parts: with one part she tied the food container, and with the other she tied the water skin.
She was ten years older than Aisha (radi Allahu anha). It was her son, Abdullah ibn az-Zubair (radi Allahu anhu), whom the tyrant Hajjaj had killed. A few days after this incident, at the age of one hundred years, Asma (radi Allahu anha) passed away in the year 73 AH.
Radi Allahu anha wa ardaaha. Ameen.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
It is understood from this hadith that the one who advised Asma’ (radi Allahu anha) to tear her waistband was her noble father, Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu).
On the night of migration (hijrah), she tore her waistband (nitaq) into two parts:
With one part, she tied the food container, and the other part she used herself.
Because she used one part herself, she is also called “Dhat al-Nitaq” (the possessor of the waistband).
(Fath al-Bari: 7/294.)
➋
The narration of Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) has also been transmitted by Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) with a connected chain.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Tafsir, Hadith: 4665)

Hadith Commentary:
The name of the daughter of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (radi Allahu anhu) is Asma (radi Allahu anha).
She is the mother of Abdullah ibn az-Zubair (radi Allahu anhu).
She accepted Islam in Makkah itself.
At that time, only seventeen people had embraced Islam.
She was ten years older than Aisha (radi Allahu anha).
After the martyrdom of her son, Abdullah ibn az-Zubair (radi Allahu anhu), she passed away in Makkah itself in the year 73 AH at the age of one hundred years.
The relevance of the chapter is established in that this virtuous woman prepared breakfast for the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) at the time of his migration journey.
From this, it is established that on every journey—whether it be the journey of Hajj or of jihad—it is permissible to take provisions along.
Especially, making complete arrangements for rations for armies is necessary for every civilized government.

Hadith Commentary:
(Sufrah)
This refers to the food which travelers take with them on a journey.
At that time, it was generally kept in a provision bag made of leather. From this hadith, it is established that this pious woman prepared food for the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) for the journey of migration (hijrah).
From this, it is proven that for every journey—whether it is the journey of Hajj or for jihad—it is permissible to take provisions along, and doing so is not contrary to reliance upon Allah (tawakkul), as some Sufis believe.
This was the journey of migration.
The journey of jihad can be analogized to this.
Making complete arrangements for provisions for the army is necessary for every civilized government.
