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 barley bread was not available in abundance to the Prophet's family
Hadith 378
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، عَنْ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ الْهُذَلِيِّ قَالَ: كَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ لَنَا جَلِيسًا، وَكَانَ نِعْمَ الْجَلِيسُ، وَإِنَّهُ انْقَلَبَ بِنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ حَتَّى إِذَا دَخَلْنَا بَيْتَهُ وَدَخَلَ فَاغْتَسَلَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَأَتَيْنَا بِصَحْفَةٍ فِيهَا خُبْزٌ وَلَحْمٌ، فَلَمَّا وُضِعَتْ بَكَى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ، مَا يُبْكِيكَ؟ فَقَالَ: «هَلكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَشْبَعْ هُوَ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ مِنْ خُبْزِ الشَّعِيرِ» فَلَا أَرَانَا أُخِّرْنَا لِمَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَنَا
Nawfal bin Iyas Hadhali, may Allah have mercy on him, says that Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf, may Allah be pleased with him, was our companion, and he was an excellent, righteous companion. One day he took us to his house, he went inside and after performing ghusl (ritual bath), he came out. Then a large bowl was placed before us in which there was bread and meat. When it was placed, Abdur Rahman bin Awf, may Allah be pleased with him, began to weep. I asked: Abu Muhammad! What is it that has caused you to weep? He replied: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away, but neither he nor his family ever ate their fill of barley bread. I think that what we have been left behind for is not for our betterment.
