Hadith of Amir bin Rabi'ah
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7199 — The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to send us out
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي الْمَسْعُودِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَيَبْعَثُنَا وَمَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا السَّلْفُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ ، فَنَقْسِمُهُ قَبْضَةً قَبْضَةً ، نَنْتَهِي إِلَى تَمْرَةٍ تَمْرَةٍ ، فَوَاللهِ مُنْذُ أَنْ فَقَدْنَاهَا اخْتَلَلْنَاهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to send us out (on expeditions) when we had no provisions except a meagre bag of dates. So we would divide it handful by handful, until it came down to one date each. So by Allah! Ever since we lost even that one date each, we have felt its absence keenly."
