Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: By Him in Whose Hand is my life and Ibn 'Abbad also said: By One in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah (RA) , Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) could not afford to provide adequate food to his family which could (fill their bellies) with bread and wheat for three days successively until he left the world.

Abu Hazim reported: I saw Abu Hurairah (RA) point with his finger many a time and saying: By One in Whose Hand is the life of Abu Hurairah (RA) , Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) could not eat to his fill and provide his family bread of wheat beyond three days successively until he left the world.
