Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we reconcile the statement of the Exalted[Ad-Duhaa 93:8], with what was reported from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that a fire was not lit in the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for a month, two months, or three months?
Answer:
But their food was the two blacks: dates and water. If they had what sufficed them, and dates are a source of wealth, dates are a source of wealth, praise be to Allah. If they had dates, that is wealth, yes.
