My father narrated to us. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us. He said: Ibrahim b. Muhammad al-Thaqafi narrated to us. He said: Abu Yusuf Ya`qub b. Muhammad al-Basri narrated to us. He said: Ibn `Ammara narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Abi’l Za`za` al-Barqi narrated to us. He said: Abu Thabit `Abd al-Karim al-Jazari narrated to us from Sa`id b. Jubayr from `Abdullah b. `Abbas. He said:

The Prophet (s) became immensely famished, so he went to the Ka`ba, held onto its cloak, and said: Lord of Muhammad! Do not starve Muhammad more than what You have [already] starved him. He said: So, Gabriel came down to him with an almond. So, he said: O Muhammad! Allah recites the salaam to you. So, he said: O Gabriel! Allah is Peace, and peace is from Him, and peace will return to Him. So, he said: Surely, Allah commands you to break open this almond. So, he broke it open, and a fresh green leaf appeared, upon which it was written: “There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Muhammad is aided and supported by `Ali. Allah does not bless those who distrust Allah in His judgment, and He decelerates their sustenance.”
