Sunan Ibn Majah 3345 (Book 29, Hadith 95) #32699
Aishah's Struggles After the Passing of the Prophet

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet's wife, Aishah, who was left with very little food after the Prophet passed away.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "When the Prophet passed away, there was nothing in my house that any living soul could eat, except a little bit of barley on a shelf of mine. I ate it for a long time, then I weighed it and soon it was all gone".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَقَدْ تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ وَمَا فِي بَيْتِي مِنْ شَىْءٍ يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ إِلاَّ شَطْرُ شَعِيرٍ فِي رَفٍّ لِي فَأَكَلْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى طَالَ عَلَىَّ فَكِلْتُهُ فَفَنِيَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to us about a difficult time in 'Aishah's life after her beloved husband, the Prophet Muhammad, passed away. She was left with very little food and only a small amount of barley on a shelf in her house. Despite this hardship she endured and managed to survive by eating this barley for an extended period of time until it ran out. This hadith teaches us that even in times of great difficulty and poverty we can still find strength and resilience within ourselves to overcome our struggles. It also reminds us that we should be grateful for what we have as there are many people who are less fortunate than ourselves.
