Hadith 24768

حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي ، كَانَ شَعْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوْقَ الْوَفْرَةِ ، وَدُونَ الْجُمَّةِ ، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي ، إِنْ كَانَ لَيَمُرُّ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الشَّهْرُ ، مَا يُوقَدُ فِي بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ نَارٍ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ اللُّحَيْمُ ، وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا الْأَسْوَدَانِ الْمَاءُ وَالتَّمْرُ ، إِلَّا أَنَّ حَوْلَنَا أَهْلَ دُورٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، جَزَاهُمْ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَالْقَدِيمِ ، فَكُلُّ يَوْمٍ يَبْعَثُونَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِغَزِيرَةِ شَاتِهِمْ ، يَعْنِي : فَيَنَالُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ اللَّبَنِ ، وَلَقَدْ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا فِي رَفِّي مِنْ طَعَامٍ يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ إِلَّا قَرِيبٌ مِنْ شَطْرِ شَعِيرٍ ، فَأَكَلْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى طَالَ عَلَيَّ لَا يَفْنَى ، فَكِلْتُهُ فَفَنِيَ ، فَلَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَكُنْ كِلْتُهُ ، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَأَنْ كَانَ ضِجَاعُهُ مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهُ لِيفٌ . وقَالَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ : بِغَزِيرَةِ شَاتِهِمْ ، وَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ إِلَّا ضِجَاعُهُ.
Urwah narrates that once Hazrat Aisha said to him, "Nephew! The hair of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was a little longer than the earlobes and shorter than long hair. By Allah, O nephew! Sometimes a whole month would pass over the family of Muhammad (peace be upon him) in such a way that no fire would be lit in any of the houses of the Prophet (peace be upon him), except that a little meat would come from somewhere. For our sustenance, there were only two things: water and dates. However, there were some households of the Ansar living around us, and at the time when the Prophet (peace be upon him) passed away, there was not even enough food in the cupboard that a person with a liver could eat, except for a few grains of barley. But I kept eating from them for a long time, yet they did not finish. One day I measured them, and then they finished. I wish I had not measured them. And by Allah, the bedding of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was made of leather, stuffed with palm fibers."
