Anas bin Maalik (Radiyallahu anhu) says:
"Dates were presented to Rasulullah (Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam). I saw him
eating them. Due to hunger he was sitting on the support of something and not on
his own support".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ،
قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ،
يَقُولُ: أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِتَمْرٍ فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَأْكُلُ
وَهُوَ مُقْعٍ مِنَ الْجُوعِ.
