Jami at-Tirmidhi 2372 (Book 36, Hadith 69) #28006
The Prophet's Hardships

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not have enough food to fill his stomach.

Simak bin Harb said: "I heard An-Nu'man bin Bashir saying: 'Do you (people) not have what you wish of food and drink?' I have seen your Prophet and he did not have even enough daqal (dry dates) to fill his stomach'."
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ، يَقُولُ أَلَسْتُمْ فِي طَعَامٍ وَشَرَابٍ مَا شِئْتُمْ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ وَمَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلأُ بَطْنَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَرَوَى أَبُو عَوَانَةَ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى شُعْبَةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ
