Arabic text

4148 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَذِيمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا أَصْبَحَ فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَّا مُدٌّ مِنْ طَعَامٍ، أَوْ مَا أَصْبَحَ فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، مُدٌّ مِنْ طَعَامٍ»

Commentary

A Mudd is equal to one forth of Sâ', that is equal to about 650 grams. The Prophet ﷺ, did not intend to complain about his situation, rather he wanted to present his example of patience and thankfulness, in order to be followed by his Companions and other members of his nation.
