4146. It was narrated that Nu'mân bin Bashir said: "I heard 'Umar bin Khattâb say: 'I saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ writhing with hunger during the day, and he could not even find the worst kind of dates with which to fill his stomach.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

4146 - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، يَقُولُ: «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَلْتَوِي فِي الْيَوْمِ مِنَ الْجُوعِ، مَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ، مَا يَمْلَأُ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ»
