It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), our food consisted of only two black things: dates and water. By Allah, we had never seen your wheat nor did we know about it, and during the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), our clothing used to be the sheets of the villagers.
