´Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:` "Indeed I have feared for the sake of Allah, such that no one has feared, and I have been harmed for the sake of Allah, such that no one has been harmed. Thirty days and nights have passed over me, and there was no food with Bilal and I forced something with a liver to eat, except what Bilal could conceal under his armpit." This Hadith refers to when the Prophet SAW went out fleeing from Makkah and Bilal was with him. The only food Bilãl had was what he could carry under his arm.

Explanation:
1:
From this hadith, it is understood how much physical hardship the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) endured for the elevation of Allah’s word and the manifestation of His religion.
Moreover, on top of this, several days would pass continuously and he would remain hungry.
It is evident that whatever Bilal (radi Allahu anhu) had hidden under his arm could only last for so long.
In this hadith, there is a lesson and admonition for the callers to truth (da‘iyan-i-haqq).

Commentary:
(1)
Since it was the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who stood up with the call to monotheism (tawhid), therefore, the first target of the oppression and injustice of the polytheists was also the blessed person of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself. Before the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum, it was the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself who endured their persecutions. From this, it is understood that the one who calls towards the truth should demonstrate patience and steadfastness more than others, so that he can become a model (uswah) for others.
(2)
Bilal radi Allahu anhu is among those devoted Companions who, even in the earliest period, endured hardships alongside the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. This demonstrates the virtue of Bilal radi Allahu anhu.
