2356. Masrūq said: "I entered upon 'Aishah and she invited me to eat. She said: 'Whenever I eat my fill of food I want to cry and begin crying.'" He said: "I said: 'Why?' She said: 'I remember the circumstances under which the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ parted from the world: By Allāh! He would not eat his fill of bread and meat twice in a day.'" (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan [Ṣaḥīḥ].
٢٣٥٦ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ: «دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَدَعَتْ لِي بِطَعَامٍ، وَقَالَتْ: مَا أَشْبَعُ مِنْ طَعَامٍ فَأَشَاءُ أَنْ أَبْكِيَ إِلَّا بَكَيْتُ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لِمَ؟ قَالَتْ: أَذْكُرُ الْحَالَ الَّتِي فَارَقَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الدُّنْيَا، وَاللهِ مَا شَبِعَ مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلَحْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ فِي يَوْمٍ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.

The idea is that never, during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, did there come a day when his family members had two full meals to eat in a day. Even the bread that they ate was made of barley. But today, she ﷺ said, "Allāh has given us plenty to eat and drink and hence it moves me to tears, but I try to withhold them".
