1215. Anas narrated: "I walked to the Prophet ﷺ with some barley bread that had some rancid oil poured over it. The Prophet ﷺ had pawned his armour with a Jew for twenty Sā' of food that he got for his family. That day (he pawned it), I heard him saying: 'Not for one evening has the household of Muḥammad had a Sā' of dates or a Sā' of grain.' And on that day he had nine wives." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
