5470. It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Allâhumma innî a'ûdhu bika minal-jû'i, fa innahu bi'sa'd-dajî'u, wa a'ûdhu bika minal-khiyânati, fa innahu bi'satil-biţânah (O Allâh, I seek refuge in You from hunger, for it is a bad companion, and I seek refuge with You from treachery, for it is a bad thing to hide in one's heart.)'" (Da'if)
5468 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُوعِ، فَإِنَّهُ بِئْسَ الضَّجِيعُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْخِيَانَةِ، فَإِنَّهَا بِئْسَتِ الْبِطَانَةُ»

1. Hunger is inherent in man. There is no escaping from it. Hence, hunger in this Tradition does not mean 'absolute hunger'. It rather means serial or continuous hunger or appetite which is described by the expression Faqr or poverty in the narration 5462; in that man fails to obtain so much to eat and drink that he could satisfy his hunger. 2. Treachery is blameworthy, whether it is in the rights of Allâh, or the rights of bondsmen. It is a sign of hypocrisy. May Allâh keep us safe from these both.
