2341. Uthmān bin Affān narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "There is no right for the son of Ādam in other than these things: A house which he lives in, a garment which covers his nakedness, and Jilf (a piece of bread) and water." (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is [Hasan] Ṣaḥīḥ, and it is the Hadīth of Al-Ḥuraith bin As-Sā'ib. I heard Abū Dāwūd Sulaimān bin Salm Al-Balkhī saying: "An-Naḍr bin Shumail said: 'Jilf is bread, meaning without any condiment.'"
٢٣٤١ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُرَيْثُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي حُمْرَانُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ حَقٌّ فِي سِوَى هَذِهِ الْخِصَالِ؛ بَيْتٌ يَسْكُنُهُ،» وَثَوْبٌ يُوَارِي عَوْرَتَهُ، وَجِلْفُ الْخُبْزِ، وَالْمَاءِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَهُوَ حَدِيثُ الْحُرَيْثِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ. وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا دَاوُدَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ سَلْمٍ الْبَلْخِيَّ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ: جِلْفُ الْخُبْزِ يَعْنِي لَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِدَامٌ.

The Hadīth confirms that the basic needs of man are just three: (i) a house to live in, (ii) a garment to cover his nakedness, and (iii) a dry piece of bread and some water to drink. If he gets more than this, then it is a favor from Allāh for which he should be grateful to Him, and he shall be accounted for it on the Day of Judgement.
