It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once barley bread and old oil were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I heard him say one day that this evening, the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) does not have even a sa’ of grain or wheat. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had nine pure wives. And the armor of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was mortgaged with a Jew in Madinah Munawwarah; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had taken some barley from him for a few months, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had nothing with which to redeem it.
