It is narrated from Sayyiduna Dakin bin Sa’id Khath’ami (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We, four hundred and forty men, came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We requested food from you. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): Get up and provide them with food. He submitted: O Messenger of Allah! I have only as much food as is sufficient for me and my children for just four months. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Get up and give them food. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Heard and obeyed (i.e., your command is upon my eyes and head). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and we also stood up with him, he took us with him towards the upper chamber. He took out the key from his waist and opened the door. Sayyiduna Dakin (may Allah be pleased with him) says that there were some weak quality dates lying in his room. He said: Take as much as you want from here, each of us took dates from there according to our need, I was the last among them. I observed and felt as if we had not decreased even a single date from his dates.
