Guidance from The Prophet (saws)
Hadrat Aishah (r.a.) reported: ‘The family of Muhammad (saws) never ate to the fill, the bread of barley (or wheat) for three successive nights until he died.’

Commentary:
The above statement of Hadrat Aishah (r.a.), the wife of the Prophet (saws), exemplifies the extreme piety, contentment and simplicity of the household of the Last and Final Messenger of Allah (saws)….so much so that even when almost the whole of Arabia was under Muslim rule and Prophet Mohammed (saws) was the undisputed ruler of Arabia, Hadrat Aisha (r.a.) would say that she could not recollect a time during the life of the Prophet (saws), when the family of the Prophet (saws) ate stomachful for three consecutive nights!
