Simple Living of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and his wife Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) living a simple life, relying on dates and water for sustenance, but receiving milk from their Ansar neighbours.

'Urwah from 'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported that she used to say to Urwah (May Allah be pleased with him): "O son of my sister, by Allah, I used to see the new moon, then the new moon, then the new moon, ie, three moons in two months, and a fire was not kindled in the house of Messenger of Allah ".I ('Urwah) said, "O my aunt, what were your means of sustenance?" She said; "Dates and water. But it (so happened) that Messenger of Allah had some Ansar neighbours who had milch animals. They used to send Messenger of Allah some milk of their (animals) and he gave that to us to drink". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن عروة عن عائشة، رضي الله عنها، أنها كانت تقول‏:‏ والله يا ابن اختي إن كنا لننظر إلى الهلال، ثم الهلال‏:‏ ثلاثة أهلة في شهرين، وما أوقد في أبيات رسول ، نار‏.‏ قلت‏:‏ يا خالة فما كان يعيشكم‏؟‏ قالت‏:‏ الأسودان‏:‏ التمر والماء، إلا أنه قد كان لرسول الله جيران من الأنصار، وكانت لهم منائح وكانوا يرسلون إلى رسول الله من ألبانها فيسقينا‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
