The Mother of the Believers, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), reported that the members of the Prophet's (ﷺ) household never ate two full meals in a single day unless one of those two meals was dates.

• The humility of the Prophet (ﷺ) and his household, for sometimes they would not find more than one meal in a day.
• Dates were more readily available to them than other foods.
• The virtue of asceticism and contentment with little sustenance, and that it is among the morals of the prophets and the way of the Master of the Messengers.
• Eating twice in a single day is among the permissible and allowed matters, and it was a known custom of the Arabs. They used to eat two meals a day: a lunch meal and a dinner meal.
