Hadith #596
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فَرُبَّمَا أَتَى عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الشَّهْرُ يَظَلُّ يَتَلَوَّى مَا يَشْبَعُ مِنْ الدَّقَلِ
English Translation
ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us, Isrāʾīl informed us, from Simāk, that he heard al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr رضي الله عنه giving a sermon, saying: 'Praise be to Allah تعالى. Sometimes a whole month would pass upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during which he would writhe in hunger, unable to fill himself with poor-quality dates.'
