باب ما جاء فى عيش رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمChapter: What has been reported concerning the life of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
Even poor dates were not available in abundance
Hadith 370
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ: أَلَسْتُمْ فِي طَعَامٍ وَشَرَابٍ مَا شِئِتُمْ؟ «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ»
It is narrated from Simak bin Harb, he says: I heard Sayyiduna Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with them both) saying: Do you not have food and drink of your choice available? I have seen your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that even inferior dates to fill his stomach were not available to him.
