DIET OF THE PROPHET, praise and peace be upon him H 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." R 493 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.
491- وعن عروة ، عن عائشة رضي الله عنها ، أنّها كَانَتْ تقول : وَاللهِ ، يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي ، إنْ كُنَّا نَنْظُرُ إِلَى الهِلاَلِ ، ثُمَّ الهِلالِ : ثَلاَثَةُ أهلَّةٍ في شَهْرَيْنِ ، وَمَا أُوقِدَ في أبْيَاتِ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم نَارٌ . قُلْتُ : يَا خَالَةُ ، فَمَا كَانَ يُعِيشُكُمْ ؟ قالت : الأَسْوَدَانِ التَّمْرُ وَالمَاءُ ، إِلاَّ أنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم جِيرَانٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ ، وكَانَتْ لَهُمْ مَنَائِحُ وَكَانُوا يُرْسِلُونَ إِلَى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم مِنْ ألْبَانِهَا فَيَسْقِينَا . متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ .
