حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : " لَقَدْ تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا فِي رَفِّي مِنْ شَيْءٍ يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ ، إِلَّا شَطْرُ شَعِيرٍ فِي رَفٍّ لِي ، فَأَكَلْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى طَالَ عَلَيَّ فَكِلْتُهُ ، فَفَنِيَ " .
Narrated `Aisha: When the Prophet died, nothing which can be eaten by a living creature was left on my shelf except some barley grain. I ate of it for a period and when I measured it, it finished.

Hadith Commentary:
That which is mentioned in another hadith, "Measure your grain, there will be blessing in it," means that it is better to measure at the time of buying and selling. However, when spending at home, one should spend while taking the name of Allah; there will be blessing in it.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Although after the conquests there was an increase in household expenses, yet due to preferring others (ithar) and showing compassion towards them, the state of domestic life remained as it was described by Hazrat Aisha radi Allahu anha.
(2)
In this hadith, it is mentioned that when Hazrat Aisha radi Allahu anha measured her grain, it finished, whereas in another hadith it is stated: “Measure your grain, there will be blessing in it.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Buyu’, Hadith: 2128) The meaning is that measuring at the time of buying and selling is a cause of blessing, but when spending at home, instead of measuring, if one spends while taking the name of Allah, then there will be blessing. (Fath al-Bari: 11/339)

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: After eating for a long period, when the remainder was measured, then an estimation for its end was determined in the heart, due to which its blessing (barakah) ceased.
