The meaning of her statement: "That the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) bought food from a Jew and pledged his iron armor for it."

The Shaykh : Then the author mentioned the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought food from a Jew and pledged his armor for it. So we ask first, what was the food that the Messenger bought? He bought food, which was thirty sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of barley. And who was the Jew? A Jew is anyone who adhered to the Torah, meaning anyone who claimed to follow Moses (peace be upon him). They were called Jews either from their saying, "We have turned to You," or from their attribution to their most senior ancestor, Yehuda, the son of Jacob, and this is the most likely explanation. However, through Arabization, it changed to "Yahud" instead of "Yehuda." And her statement: What is the armor? The armor is a shirt of iron with which a warrior protects himself from the arrows of the enemy. It is rings of iron interlinked with one another, which a person wears to protect himself from the arrows of the enemy. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had an armor with which he protected himself from arrows. And when he was in the Battle of Uhud, he (peace and blessings be upon him) wore two armors for added protection.
