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 صلى الله عليه وسلم، نار. قلت: يا خالة فما كان يعيشكم؟ قالت: الأسودان: التمر والماء، إلا أنه قد كان لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم جيران من الأنصار، وكانت لهم منائح وكانوا يرسلون إلى رسول الله من ألبانها فيسقينا

“O son of my sister, by Allah, I used to see the new moon, then the new moon, then the new moon, i.e., three moons in two months, and a fire was not kindled in the house of Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

‘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 (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had some Ansar neighbours who had milch animals. They used to send Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) some milk of their (animals) and he gave that to us to drink.’.’”
