FAINT THROUGH HUNGER

504

“I (Abu Hurairah) remember how I would fall unconscious in the area between the pulpit of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and the room of Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, and how passers-by would put their foot on my neck imagining that I was insane. Indeed, I was not insane; I was hungry."

Bukhari with a chain up to Muhammad, the son of Sirin who related this.
