Hadith #12
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِي
لَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَيْسَ بْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ سَعْدٌ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ وَمَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرَقَ الْحُبْلَةِ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا تَضَعُ الشَّاةُ مَا يُخَالِطُهُ شَيْءٌ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَتْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ يُعَزِّرُونِي عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ لَقَدْ خَسِرْتُ إِذَنْ وَضَلَّ سَعْيِي

English Translation
It was narrated from Sa'd (رضي الله عنه) who said: 'I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as one of seven, and we had no food except the leaves of the hubla tree, to the point that one of us would pass droppings like those of sheep or goats. Now Banu Asad want to instruct me in religion — I would be a loser and my efforts would be wasted [if they were right about me].'
