حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا كَانَ طَعَامَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْأَسْوَدَانِ التَّمْرُ ، وَالْمَاءُ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا كُنَّا نَرَى سَمْرَاءَكُمْ هَذِهِ ، وَلَا نَدْرِي مَا هِيَ ، وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ لِبَاسُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النِّمَارَ ، يَعْنِي بُرْدَ الْأَعْرَابِ " .
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.
