Setting
1- The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to spend consecutive nights with an empty stomach, and his household would find no supper, and their bread was mostly made of barley
2- The Messenger's right hand was for his purification and eating, and his left hand was for cleansing after relieving himself and (handling) repulsive things.
3- The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was brought milk mixed with water. A Bedouin was sitting on his right and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting on his left. He drank then gave it to the Bedouin and said: The one on the right (first) then again the one on the right
4- The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to breathe three times in the course of a drink
5- I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) eating some dates while sitting on his buttocks with his knees bent upwards
6- The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) bought food from a Jew and pledged him his iron armor
7- I felt some feebleness in the voice of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and perceived that it was due to hunger; so have you anything with you? She replied in the affirmative
8- If you have any water that has remained this night in a skin (we would like it), otherwise we would drink directly (from a water source)
