"I ('Urwah) said, "O my aunt, what were your means of sustenance?" She said; "Dates and water. But it (so happened) that Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) had some Ansar neighbours who had milch animals. They used to send Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) some milk of their (animals) and he gave that to us to drink."."
