DIET OF THE PROPHET, praise and peace be upon him

493

“Nephew, we would sight three crescents in two months without a fire being lit in the homes of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, Urwah asked: "Aunt, how did you live?" She (Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her) replied: ‘On dates and water, unless the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, had Ansari neighbors with she-camels yielding milk, who would send some of their milk to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and we drank.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Urwah who related that the Mother of Believers, Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, said this.
