اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَقَدْ أُوذِيتُ فِي اللَّهِ ، وَمَا يُؤْذَى أَحَدٌ ، وَلَقَدْ أُخِفْتُ فِي اللَّهِ ، وَمَا يُخَافُ أَحَدٌ ، وَلَقَدْ أَتَتْ عَلَيَّ ثَالِثَةٌ ، وَمَا لِي وَلِبِلَالٍ طَعَامٌ يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ إِلَّا مَا وَارَى إِبِطُ بِلَالٍ " .
´It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said:` "The Messenger of Allah said: 'I have been tortured for the sake of Allah as no one else has, and I have suffered fear for the sake of Allah as no one else has. I have spent three days when Bilal and I had no food that any living being could eat but that which could be concealed in the armpit of Bilal.'"

Commentary:
(1)
Since it was the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who stood up with the call to monotheism (tawhid), therefore, the first target of the oppression and injustice of the polytheists was also the blessed person of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself. Before the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum, it was the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself who endured their persecutions. From this, it is understood that the one who calls towards the truth should demonstrate patience and steadfastness more than others, so that he can become a model (uswah) for others.
(2)
Bilal radi Allahu anhu is among those devoted Companions who, even in the earliest period, endured hardships alongside the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. This demonstrates the virtue of Bilal radi Allahu anhu.

Explanation:
1:
From this hadith, it is understood how much physical hardship the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) endured for the elevation of Allah’s word and the manifestation of His religion.
Moreover, on top of this, several days would pass continuously and he would remain hungry.
It is evident that whatever Bilal (radi Allahu anhu) had hidden under his arm could only last for so long.
In this hadith, there is a lesson and admonition for the callers to truth (da‘iyan-i-haqq).
