Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ إِنْ كُنَّا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ لَنَمْكُثُ شَهْرًا مَا نُوقِدُ فِيهِ بِنَارٍ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ .إِلاَّ أَنَّ ابْنَ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ نَلْبَثُ شَهْرًا .
Translation
Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; ‘Abdullah ibn Numayr and Abu Usamah narrated to us, from Hisham ibn ‘Urwah, from his father, from ‘A’ishah, who said: We, the family of Muhammad (ﷺ), would sometimes pass a month without lighting a fire; we had only dates and water. Ibn Numayr’s wording was: We would stay a month.
