٢٤٧١ - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «إِنْ كُنَّا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ» نَمْكُثُ شَهْرًا مَا نَسْتَوْقِدُ بِنَارٍ، إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا الْمَاءُ وَالتَّمْرُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary
The family of the Prophet ﷺ even experienced a phase of such hardship and poverty in life when a whole month or, according to another narration, even two months would pass without their having anything to cook on fire in the house; they just lived on water and dates, or else their neighbors from the Anṣār of Al-Madinah sent them milk as a gift.
