نَفِدَ الطَّعَامُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَأَتَاهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ نَفِدَ الطَّعَامُ وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا عِنْدَ فُلَانٍ فَمُرْهُ يَبِيعُهُ النَّاسَ قَالَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا فُلَانُ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ذَكَرُوا أَنَّ الطَّعَامَ قَدْ نَفِدَ إِلَّا شَيْئاً عِنْدَكَ فَأَخْرِجْهُ وَ بِعْهُ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ وَ لَا تَحْبِسْهُ .
Translation
Muhammad, from Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Huzeyfa Bin Mansour, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The food (supplies) ran out in the era of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>. So the Muslims came over to him<sup>saww</sup> and they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! The food (supply) has run out and there does not remain anything from it except with so and so, therefore order him to sell it to the people’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So he<sup>saww</sup> Praised Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and Extolled Him<sup>azwj</sup>, then said: ‘O so and so! The Muslims are mentioning that the food (supply) has run out except for the things which are with you, therefore bring these out and sell it howsoever you so desire to, and do not withhold it’.
