حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ لَقَدْ کَانَ يَأْتِي عَلَی آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الشَّهْرُ مَا يُرَی فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِ الدُّخَانُ قُلْتُ فَمَا کَانَ طَعَامُهُمْ قَالَتْ الْأَسْوَدَانِ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَائُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ کَانَ لَنَا جِيرَانٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ جِيرَانُ صِدْقٍ وَکَانَتْ لَهُمْ رَبَائِبُ فَکَانُوا يَبْعَثُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَلْبَانَهَا قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَکَانُوا تِسْعَةَ أَبْيَاتٍ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4145
It was narrated from Abu Salamah that' Aishah said: "There would come a month when no smoke was seen in any of the households of the family of Muhammad P.B.U.H said: "What did you eat?" She said: "The two black ones — dates and water." But we had neighbors among the Ansar, sincere neighbors, who had domestic sheep, and they used to send some of their milk to us. (One of the narrators) Muhammad said: " And they were nine households." (Hasan)
