Hadith 228: Hadith 228
228. Narrated Orwa: ' A'isha said to me: " O my nephew! We used to see the crescent and then the crescent and then the crescent and in this way we saw three crescents in two months and no fire (for cooking) was to be made in the houses of Allah's Messenger ".I said: " O my aunt! Then, what used to sustain you? " A'isha said: " The two black things (dried-dates and water). Our neighbors from Al-Ansar had some Madina and they used to present Allah's Messenger some of their milk and he used to make us drink it. " (Bukhari)

Translation: 230. Narrated Qays ibn Hazem: ' I heard Sa'ad ibn Abu- Waqqas saying: " I am the first man to shed blood for Allah's sake and I am the first man to shoot an arrow for Allah's sake. And I would participate with a group of men of the companions of Muhammad eating nothing but the tree
Translation: ' Madina is a ewe or a camel that is given to someone by its owner so the former could drink its milk, while it remains as the property of the original owner.
Translation: leaves and acacia until one of us would excrete dung like the cattle. Then Bano Asad criticizes me regarding the religion. I have been disappointed and my deeds rendered futile (if their claim was true). " (At-Termizi)
Translation: 2 Al Hafiz ibn Hajar said: " Bano Asad were among the people who apostatized after the death of the Messenger of Allah s. They followed Tolayha ibn Khowaylid Al Asadi, but Khalid ibn Al-Waleed fought them during the caliphate of Abu-Bakr and defeated them, and they reverted once again to Islam. Tolayhah reverted also and proved to be a good Muslim. Most of them inhabited Al Koofah. During the caliphate of Omar, they complained about Sa9'ad to Omar who subsequently deposed him, as they claimed that Sa'ad did not perform the prayer well. For this reason he said: ' I have been disappointed and my deeds rendered futile (if their claim was true). " " Ibnul-Jawzi said: " If it was said: ' How could Sa'ad praise himself as a Muslim should not praise himself? ' We say: ' He was entitled to do so in order to refute the false claim of Bano Asad, that he did not perform the prayer well. Thus, he was obliged to mention his excellence in this regard. It is well known that praising oneself is not forbidden, as long as it is free of exaggeration and it aims at showing the truth about something else, and mentioning Allah's favors to one. Joseph, the Prophet of Allah praised himself as stated by the Noble Koran. Allah says: " (Joseph) said: " Set me over the store-houses of the land. I will indeed guard them, as one that knows (their importance). * " (12: 55) Ali ibn Abu-Taleb ✰ said: ' Ask whatever you need to ask about Allah's Book. " "
Translation: 231. Narrated Abu-Huraira: ' Ahl Al-Soffa (The people who used to live under the covered part of the mosque) were the guests of the Muslims: they had neither families nor property. By Allah besides Him there is no god, I would squeeze my belly to the ground out of hunger; and I would tie a stone on my belly out of hunger. One day I sat where they used to go through, Abu-Bakr passed by and I asked him about a verse of Allah's Book. I asked him hoping only to have some food, but he went out without offering me any.
Translation: Omar passed by and I asked him about a verse of Allah's Book. I asked him hoping only to have some food, but he went out without offering me any.
Then, Abul-Qasem (the nickname of the Prophet) passed by. He smiled when he saw me and said: " Abu-Huraira! " I said: " Here I am Messenger of Allah. " He said: " Follow me. " He entered his house and I asked permission to enter and he gave me the permission. He found a cup of milk and asked about him that had brought it, and he was informed about him. The Messenger of Allah said: " Abu-Huraira! " I said: " Here I am Messenger of Allah. " He said: " Go to Ahl Al-Soffa and invite them. They are the guests of the Muslims with neither families nor properties. " Whenever zakat was brought to the Messenger of Allah he used to send of it to them without touching it; but if it was a present, he would eat some of it and send something of it to them. I became embarrassed because I knew that a cup of milk would do nothing for them, And I knew that the Messenger of Allah would order me to pass it round to all of them and I hoped to have some of it. However, there was no escape but to obey Allah and to obey His Messenger, so I invited them and they came in. The Messenger of Allah said: " O Abu-Huraira! Take the cup and pass it around. I took the cup and started to give it to each one of them. They would drink until they had quenched their thirst and then return it back [ to me] and so on until I reached the Messenger of Allah, after all the people had quenched their thirst. The Messenger of Allah took the cup, put it on his hand, smiled, and said: " Abu-Huraira! Drink! " I drank. Then he said: " Drink! " and I drank. I kept on doing this and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on ordering me to drink until I said: " By Him Who sent you with the truth I have no more room. " He took the cup, praised Allah, recited Al-Tasmiya, and drank. " (At-Termizi)
Translation: 232. Narrated Imran ibn Hosayn: ' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “ The best of my followers are those among whom I was sent, then those who follow them. " The narrator said: " I do not know whether he, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned a third (generation) or not. " Then the Messenger of Allah said: “ Then there will come some people who give witness [ say the shahada] without being asked to give it. They will betray, prove dishonest, and spend lavishly on food and drink. " (At-Termizi)
Translation: 233. Narrated Abdullah ibn Mihsan: ' The Messenger of Allah said: " He who spends the night safely among his family, his body free of ailments, and having sustenance for his present day has possessed the whole world. " (At-Termizi)
