Hadith Commentary: The meaning is that, in the early period, there was such a scarcity of food that we never received enough to fill our stomachs. Then Allah, the Exalted, granted us the conquest of Khaybar, and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passed away at a time when dates became abundantly available to us, so much so that we could eat our fill.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The practice of eating to satiety, that is, eating until the stomach is full, began after the conquest of Khaybar, as narrated by Aisha radi Allahu anha, who said: When Khaybar was conquered, we said (in our hearts): Now we will eat dates to our fill. And the conquest of Khaybar took place three years before the passing of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah has mentioned seven levels of eating to satiety, the details of which are as follows:
➊ To eat enough to maintain the connection between body and soul.
➋ Then to add a little more so that the performance of prayer and fasting becomes easy.
➌ After that, to eat further so that voluntary acts of worship (nawafil) can be performed.
➍ To increase one’s intake so much that one becomes capable of earning a livelihood.
➎ Filling one third of the stomach—this is also permissible.
➏ To eat so much that the body becomes heavy and sleep overcomes one; such eating to satiety is disliked (makruh).
➐ To add even more until the stomach is burdened and a person becomes ill.
This type of eating to satiety is prohibited.
One should avoid it.
(Fath al-Bari: 9/655)

In any case, from these ahadith, Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has established the permissibility of eating to satiety.
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: These two things became available in abundance to your (the Prophet’s sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) family after the conquest of Khaybar, but sometimes you would not eat them out of your own choice, (even though they were available to you).
