Nephew, the hair of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was longer than the hair which reaches just above the ears and shorter than the hair which reaches the shoulders. By Allah, nephew, a whole month would pass during which no fire was kindled in the house of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for cooking, unless it was for some meat. There was nothing but the two black things, water and dates, except that we had neighbors from the Ansar, may Allah reward them well both recently and in times past, who used to send the Messenger of Allah ﷺ some of the milk of their sheep each day, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would have some of that milk.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away while there was nothing on my shelf that any living creature could eat except about half a measure of barley. I kept eating from it for so long that it seemed it would never run out. Then I weighed it, and it was finished. I wish I had not weighed it.By Allah, his bedding was made of leather stuffed with palm fibers.Hashimi said, "with some of the milk of their sheep," and mentioned something similar, except for the mention of his bedding.
حدثنا سريج قال حدثنا ابن أبي الزناد عن هشام بن عروة عن أبيه
يا ابن أختي كان شعر رسول الله ﷺ فوق الوفرة ودون الجمة وايم الله يا ابن أختي إن كان ليمر على آل محمد ﷺ الشهر ما يوقد في بيت رسول الله ﷺ من نار إلا أن يكون اللحيم وما هو إلا الأسودان الماء والتمر إلا أن حولنا أهل دور من الأنصار جزاهم الله خيرا في الحديث والقديم فكل يوم يبعثون إلى رسول الله ﷺ بغزيرة شاتهم يعني فينال رسول الله ﷺ من ذلك اللبن ولقد توفي رسول الله ﷺ وما في رفي من طعام يأكله ذو كبد إلا قريب من شطر شعير فأكلت منه حتى طال علي لا يفنى فكلته ففني فليتني لم أكن كلته وايم الله لأن كان ضجاعه من أدم حشوه ليف وقال الهاشمي بغزيرة شاتهم وذكر نحوه إلا ضجاعه
