1815. 'Aishah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "A house without dates, its inhabitants will be hungry.” (Sahih) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Salmā the wife of Abū Rāfi’. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb from this route. We do not know of it to be a narration of Hishām bin ‘Urwah except through this route. [He said: I asked Al-Bukhārī about this Hadīth and he said: “I do not know of anyone who reported it other than Yahya bin Ḥassān.”]
١٨١٥ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَسْكَرٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «بَيْتٌ لَا تَمْرَ فِيهِ جِيَاعٌ أَهْلُهُ» وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ سَلْمَى امْرَأَةِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ. لَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَسَأَلْتُ الْبُخَارِيَّ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ: لَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا رَوَاهُ غَيْرَ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَسَّانَ.

Dates being blessed, and the normal food of Arabs at those times, the people who had no dates in their houses were most likely to go hungry. The Hadīth also conforms that keeping an appropriate supply of food stuff at home is perfectly in order, and that dates are an extremely recommended item for the purpose.
