وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ رهن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم درعه بشعير، ومشيت إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بخبز شعير، وإهالة سنخة، ولقد سمعته يقول‏:‏ ‏

‏ ما أصبح لآل محمد صاع ولا أمسى‏

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) mortgaged his armour for a quantity of barley, and I took to him some barley bread and rancid fat. I heard him saying: "The family of Muhammad never possessed a measure of wheat from dawn to dusk although they were nine houses (to feed)." [Al- Bukhari].
