Riyad as-Salihin 504 (Book) #38889
Contentment in Poverty

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) mortgaged his armor for a quantity of barley and was content with the food he had, despite his family being nine houses to feed.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet mortgaged his armour for a quantity of barley, and I took to him some barley bread and rancid fat. I heard him saying: "The family of Muhammad never possessed a measure of wheat from dawn to dusk although they were nine houses (to feed)". Al- Bukhari.
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ رهن النبي درعه بشعير، ومشيت إلى النبي بخبز شعير، وإهالة سنخة، ولقد سمعته يقول‏:‏ ‏ "‏ ما أصبح لآل محمد صاع ولا أمسى‏"‏ وإنهم لتسعة أبيات‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ (‏‏(‏‏ ‏الإهالة‏ ‏ بكسر الهمزة‏:‏ الشحم الذائب‏.‏ و‏ ‏ السخنة‏ ‏ بالنون والخاء المعجمة؛ وهي‏:‏ المتغيرة‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
