Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب البيوع باب ما جاء فى الرخصة فى الشراء إلى أجل
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِى عَدِىٍّ عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتَوَائِىِّ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ح قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَحَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ مَشَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِخُبْزِ شَعِيرٍ وَإِهَالَةٍ سَنِخَةٍ وَلَقَدْ رُهِنَ لَهُ دِرْعٌ عِنْدَ يَهُودِىٍّ بِعِشْرِينَ صَاعًا مِنْ طَعَامٍ أَخَذَهُ لأَهْلِهِ وَلَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ يَقُولُ مَا أَمْسَى فِى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَاعُ تَمْرٍ وَلاَ صَاعُ حَبٍّ. وَإِنَّ عِنْدَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَتِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
Anas said, "I went to the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, carrying an invitation to some barley bread and flavored oil, for he had pawned his shield with a Jew for twenty ṣā' (1) of food, which he took to his family and I had heard him say once, 'There has not been a night when there was a ṣā' of dates or a ṣā' of grain in the household of Muḥammad,' peace and blessings of God be upon him. And, he had nine wives, at the time (2)."
(1) A ṣā' is a dry measure approximately equivalent to 2600 grams. (2) This is an indication that the Prophet was not rich and hardly had enough food let alone excess food in his household.
