This hadith is listed as number 7517 in Maktaba Shamila
سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكَانَ قُوتُ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ تَمْرَةً ، فَكَانَ يَمَصُّهَا ثُمَّ يَصُرُّهَا فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَكُنَّا نَخْتَبِطُ بِقِسِيِّنَا ، وَنَأْكُلُ حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ أَشْدَاقُنَا ، فَأُقْسِمُ أُخْطِئَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَّا يَوْمًا ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا بِهِ نَنْعَشُهُ ، فَشَهِدْنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطَهَا ، فَأُعْطِيَهَا ، فَقَامَ فَأَخَذَهَا
Jabir reported: We set out on an expedition with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the only means of sustenance for every person amongst us was only one date for a day and we used to chew it. And we struck the leaves with the help of our bow and ate them until the sides of our mouths were injured. It so happened one day that a person was overlooked and not given a date. We carried that person and bore witness to the fact that he had not been given that date so he was offered that and he got up and received that.
