2472. Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Indeed I have feared for the sake of Allāh, such that no one has feared, and I have been harmed for the sake of Allāh, such that no one has been harmed. Thirty days and nights have passed over me, and there was no food with Bilāl and I for something with a liver to eat,
except what Bilāl could conceal under his armpit.” (Sahih)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. This Hadith refers to when the Prophet ﷺ went out fleeing from Makkah and Bilal was with him. The only food Bilāl had was what he could carry under his arm.

Commentary
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has mentioned these facts of his life for the education of the people, and in order to tell them what trying circumstances he had had to undergo in the cause of Allāh, and that he had been harassed and terrified by his adversaries like no other person. He also pointed out that, when he refused to be cowed down by their oral threats, he was subjected to the kind of persecution that had no parallel in intensity or severity.
