3345. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "When the Prophet ﷺ passed away, there was nothing in my house that any living soul could eat, except a little bit of barley on a shelf of mine. I ate from it for a long time, then I weighed it and soon it was all gone." (Sahih)
3345 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «لَقَدْ تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمَا فِي بَيْتِي مِنْ شَيْءٍ، يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ، إِلَّا شَطْرُ شَعِيرٍ، فِي رَفٍّ لِي، فَأَكَلْتُ مِنْهُ، حَتَّى طَالَ عَلَيَّ، فَكِلْتُهُ فَفَنِيَ»

Imâm Ibn Kathir said, explaining the word 'Raff', it means a wooden board fixed onto a wall used for storing things on. Foodstuff and other supplies are blessed if they let them in the house without weighing or measuring. The Mother of the Believers assumed that the barley, which seems small in quantity, will be finished in one or two days. After measuring it she knew the amount of days the barley could suffice her, and it was finished after that.
