Sa'idah bin Sa'd bin Hudhayfah narrates that Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "There is no day more comforting to my eyes and more beloved to my heart than the day I come home and find no food with my family, and they say: 'We have nothing, little or much.'" Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Allah Almighty protects the believer from the world more strictly than the family of a sick person protect him from food, and Allah Almighty attends to the believer with trial more closely than a father attends to his child with good."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain contains narrators whom I do not know.
