Sunan Abi Dawud 358 (Book 1, Hadith 358) #20649
Making Do with Limited Resources

SUMMARY: The wives of the Prophet had limited resources and would use saliva to clean their clothes during menstruation.

'Aishah said: Each of us (wives of the Prophet) had only one clothe in which she would menstruate. Whenever it was smeared with blood, she would moisten it with her saliva and scratch it with saliva.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ - يَذْكُرُ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا كَانَ لإِحْدَانَا إِلاَّ ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ تَحِيضُ فِيهِ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ شَىْءٌ مِنْ دَمٍ بَلَّتْهُ بِرِيقِهَا ثُمَّ قَصَعَتْهُ بِرِيقِهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrated by 'Aishah speaks to the resourcefulness of the wives of the Prophet. Despite having limited resources, they were able to make do with what they had. In this case, they used saliva to clean their clothes when menstruating. This shows that even in difficult times and situations we can find ways to make do with what we have available. It also teaches us that we should be grateful for our blessings and not take them for granted as others may not have access to such luxuries or resources.

The Prophet's wives were an example of how one can be creative in finding solutions even when faced with a lack of resources or materials. They showed us that it is possible to make something out of nothing if you are willing and determined enough. We should strive for this kind of resourcefulness in our own lives so that we can better manage our time and money while still achieving our goals and objectives.
