حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ، سَمِعَهُ مِنْ، خَالِدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ نَأْكُلُهُ إِلاَّ وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ أَشْدَاقُنَا .
Translation
Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Waki‘ narrated to us, from Abu Na‘amah, who heard Khalid ibn ‘Umayr say: ‘Utbah ibn Ghazwan delivered a sermon to us from the pulpit. He said: “I remember myself as the seventh of seven with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). We had no food to eat except tree leaves, until our mouths became sore.”
