Jami' at-TirmidhiThe Book on Food
Chapter: What Has Been Related About Eating Locust
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، وَالْمُؤَمَّلُ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ نَأْكُلُ الْجَرَادَ .
‘Abdullāh ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We participated with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in seven battles wherein we ate locusts.
Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 1822).
Allah, Glorified and Exalted, blessed the Prophet's Companions with seven battles wherein He provided them with locusts because they did not have sustenance, just like He supplied them in another battle with the sperm whale that was cast out by the sea, and they ate from it.
أنَّ الله سبحانه وتعالى رَزَقَ أصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - بِسَبْع غَزَوَات يَمُدَّهُم بِالْجَرَاد لعدم وجود القُوتِ عندهم كما أمدَّهم بالعنْبر الذي خرَجَ من البَحْرِ فأكلوا منه في غزوة أخرى.
