Sunan Ibn Majah 4147 (Book 37, Hadith 48) #33503
The Prophet's Family and Their Lack of Resources

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was emphasizing that his family did not have a lot of food grains or dates, even though he had nine wives.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say several times: 'By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, the family of Muhammad does not have a Sa’ of food grains or a Sa’ of dates.’ And at that time he had nine wives".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَنْبَأَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ مِرَارًا ‏ "‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا أَصْبَحَ عِنْدَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَاعُ حَبٍّ وَلاَ صَاعُ تَمْرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَإِنَّ لَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ تِسْعَ نِسْوَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) family and their lack of resources. Even though the Prophet had nine wives at the time, he still emphasized that his family did not have a lot of food grains or dates. This shows us how humble and generous the prophet was despite having limited resources. He wanted to make sure that everyone in his household was taken care of and no one went without food or other necessities. It also teaches us to be content with what we have and to share our blessings with others who may not be as fortunate as us. We should strive to emulate this example set by our beloved prophet in our own lives by being generous with whatever we have been blessed with.
