The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by al-Auza'i through a different chain of narrators. This version adds: He was told: Messenger of Allah, in that case he will of starvation. So he allowed him to visit (the cit) twice a week so that he might ask for food and go back.
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ إِذًا يَمُوتُ مِنَ الْجُوعِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَيَسْأَلَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the permissibility of visiting cities in order to ask for food. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ allowed people who were facing starvation to visit cities twice a week so that they could ask for food and return home. This hadith teaches us that it is permissible to seek help from others when we are in need, as long as it does not cause any harm or inconvenience. We should also be generous with our resources and help those who are less fortunate than us, so that no one has to suffer from hunger or poverty.
