حَدَّثَنَا مِقْدَامٌ، ثَنَا أَسَدٌ، ثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:
لَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَبْعَثُنَا فِي السَّرِيَّةِ، مَا لَنَا مِنْ زَادٍ إِلَّا السَّلْفُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ، نَقْسِمُهُ قَبْضَةً قَبْضَةً، حَتَّى نَصِيرَ إِلَى تَمْرَةٍ تَمْرَةٍ ". فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَهُ، وَمَا عَسَى أَنْ تُغْنِيَ عَنْكُمُ التَّمْرَةُ ؟ قَالَ: لَا تَقُلْ ذَاكَ يَا بُنَيَّ، فَمَا عَدَا أَنْ فَقَدْنَاهَا فَوَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهَا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would send us out on a military expedition while we had no provisions except the 'salf' of dates [dates that are still unripe and sour], which we would divide by handfuls until we would end up with a single date each. I said: 'O father, what can a single date avail you?' He said: 'Do not say that, O my son. Once we lost it, we felt its loss.'
