Musnad Ishaq bin Rahwayh 720 — Hunger and thirst in the early days
أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: " كُنْتُ فِي أَصْحَابِ الصُّفَّةِ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِتَمْرِ عَجْوَةٍ، فَجَعَلْنَا نَأْكُلُ السِّنِينَ مِنَ الْجُوعِ، وَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُنَا إِذَا قَرَنَ أَحَدُهُمْ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ: إِنِّي قَرَنْتُ فَاقْرِنُوا ".
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I was among the people of Suffah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Ajwa dates to us, and they were placed before us. Due to hunger, we began to eat two dates at a time. When any one of us combined two dates and ate them, he would say to his companion: I have combined two dates, so you also combine (yours).
