حُسَيْنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ
عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُبَيْرِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ
عَائِشَةَ ، تَقُولُ :
" كَانَ يَمُرُّ بِنَا هِلَالٌ وَهِلَالٌ مَا يُوقَدُ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَارٌ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا خَالَةُ ، فَعَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ كُنْتُمْ تَعِيشُونَ ؟ قَالَتْ : عَلَى الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ التَّمْرِ وَالْمَاءِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that sometimes several months would pass in such a state that no fire would be lit in any of the houses of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked, "Aunt! Then how did you manage?" She replied: "On two black things, that is, dates and water."
