2484. Narrated Salama رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Once the journey-food diminished and the people were reduced to poverty. They went to the Prophet ﷺ and asked his permission to slaughter their camels, and he permitted them. Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ met them and they told him about it, and he said, "How would you survive after slaughtering your camels?" Then he went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! How would they survive after slaughtering their camels?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered 'Umar, "Call upon the people to bring what has remained of their food." A leather sheet was spread and all the journey food was collected and heaped over it. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stood up and invoked Allāh to bless it, and then directed all the people to come with their utensils, and they started taking from it till all of them got what was sufficient for them. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then said: I testify that "Lā ilaha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh), and I am the Messenger of Allāh."
