(190) It is related by Ayesha that “the members of the Prophet's household never ate even barley bread to their satisfaction for two consecutive days.”
-Bukhari and Muslim
Commentary.-It shows that in the Prophet's lifetime it never happened that his family would have eaten even barley bread to their satisfaction for two days consecutively. If they ate a full meal on one day they had to starve on the other.
(191) Sa'eed Muqbari narrates on the authority of Abu Hurairah that, once, he [Abe Hurairah] came across some people [who were having a meal] and a roasted goat was placed before them. They invited Abu Hurairah to join them but he declined, saying, “[What pleasure can this meal have for me when I know that] the Prophet departed from the world in such a state that he did not even eat a satisfying meal of barley bread!”
-Bukhari
