حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَسْكَرٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " بَيْتٌ لَا تَمْرَ فِيهِ جِيَاعٌ أَهْلُهُ " ، قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ سَلْمَى امْرَأَةِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ قَالَ : وَسَأَلْتُ الْبُخَارِيَّ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ : لَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا رَوَاهُ غَيْرَ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَسَّانَ .

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The staple food of the Arabs was dates, and they would subsist on them. Therefore, any household deprived of them would always be at risk of hunger. Thus, this hadith establishes that there should be some stock of the commonly consumed grain or fruit in the house, and this is not contrary to reliance (tawakkul) upon Allah.
