Mukhtasar Muslim

Sayyidah ‘Urwah narrates from Umm al-Mu’minin ‘A’ishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she used to say: "By Allah, O my nephew! We would see one crescent, then another, then a third, thus in two months we would see three crescents, and no fire would be lit in the houses of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) during that time." I said, "O aunt! Then what was your sustenance?" She said, "Dates and water. However, some neighbors of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from among the Ansar had milch animals, and they would send milk to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he would give us that milk to drink."

Umm al-Mu'minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, and he never ate his fill of bread and olive oil twice in one day (that is, he never ate his fill in both the morning and evening).

Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the family of Muhammad (peace be upon him) was never satisfied with wheat bread for two consecutive days; sometimes only dates were available for a day.

Sayyiduna Abu Hazim says: I saw Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) repeatedly gesturing with his two fingers and saying, "By Him in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family never ate their fill of wheat bread for three consecutive days, until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from this world."

Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away and there were a few handfuls of barley in my container. I used to eat from it. Many days passed like this. (Then) I measured it, and it finished. (It became clear that there is more blessing in an unknown and unspecified thing.)
