Poverty of the Family of the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad's family was in a state of poverty and did not have enough food.

It was narrated from Abu 'Ubaidah that 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The family of Muhammad has only a Mudd of food,’ or 'The family of Muhammad does not have even a Mud of food.’"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَذِيمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ مَا أَصْبَحَ فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلاَّ مُدٌّ مِنْ طَعَامٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ ‏"‏ مَا أَصْبَحَ فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مُدٌّ مِنْ طَعَامٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the poverty that the family of Prophet Muhammad faced. It was narrated from Abu 'Ubaidah that 'Abdullah said that the Messenger of Allah said “The family of Muhammad has only a Mudd or Mud of food”. This means that they were so poor they could barely afford enough food for one meal. This hadith teaches us to be grateful for what we have and to help those who are less fortunate than us. We should also remember how much our beloved prophet suffered in his life and strive to follow his example by being generous with our wealth and time.
