Hadith 1498

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ قَيْسَ بْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ سَعْدٌ : لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ ، " َمَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرَقَ الْحُبْلَةِ ، حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا تَضَعُ الشَّاةُ ، مَا يُخَالِطُهُ شَيْءٌ ، ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَتْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ يُعَزِّرُونِي عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ ، لَقَدْ خَسِرْتُ إِذَنْ وَضَلَّ سَعْيِي .
Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I found myself to be the seventh among seven men with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (who had accepted Islam). At that time, we had nothing to eat except the branches and leaves of grapevines, and each one of us would pass stool like a goat passes stool, with nothing else mixed in it. And today, the people of Banu Asad reproach me for my Islam. If that is so, then I have suffered a great loss and all my efforts have been wasted.
