حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ هُوَ الأَزْرَقُ عَنْ مِسْعَرِ بْنِ كِدَامٍ، عَنْ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها

قَالَتْ: مَا أَكَلَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْلَتَيْنِ فِي يَوْمٍ، إِلاَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا تَمْرٌ

The family of Muhammad did not eat two meals on one day, but one of the two was of dates.

‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, মুহাম্মাদ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর পরিবারবর্গ একদিনে দু’বেলা খানা খেয়ে একবেলা শুধু খুর্মা খেয়েই কাটিয়ে দিতেন। [(আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬০০৫, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন]

مجھ سے اسحاق بن ابراہیم بن عبدالرحمٰن بغوی نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے اسحاق ازرق نے بیان کیا، ان سے مسعر بن کدام نے، ان سے ہلال نے، ان سے عروہ بن زبیر نے اور ان سے عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے گھرانہ نے اگر کبھی ایک دن میں دو مرتبہ کھانا کھایا تو ضرور اس میں ایک وقت صرف کھجوریں ہوتی تھیں۔

Telah menceritakan kepadaku [Ishaq bin Ibrahim bin Abdurrahman] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ishaq] yaitu Al Azraq dari [Mis'ar bin Kidam] dari [Hilal Al Wazzan] dari ['Urwah] dari [Aisyah] radliallahu 'anha dia berkata; "Keluarga Muhammad tidak pernah makan hingga dua kali dalam sehari melainkan salah satunya dengan makan kurma

Hz. Aişe r.anha "Muhammed'in ailesi bir günde iki öğün yemek yemedi, yediği iki öğünden biri muhakkak hurma idi" demiştir

What it means

The Mother of the Believers, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), reported that the members of the Prophet's (ﷺ) household never ate two full meals in a single day unless one of those two meals was dates.

What it teaches

  • The humility of the Prophet (ﷺ) and his household, for sometimes they would not find more than one meal in a day.
  • Dates were more readily available to them than other foods.
  • The virtue of asceticism and contentment with little sustenance, and that it is among the morals of the prophets and the way of the Master of the Messengers.
  • Eating twice in a single day is among the permissible and allowed matters, and it was a known custom of the Arabs. They used to eat two meals a day: a lunch meal and a dinner meal.
