Abu Talhah Radiyallahu 'Anhu says:
"We complained to Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam about the severe pangs of hunger, and showed him the stones fastened on our stomachs. A stone was fastened on the stomach of every one of us due to severe hunger. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam showed us two stones fastened onto his stomach". (Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam experienced more hunger than we did, and he had spent a longer period than us since he had last eaten).
[Tirmidhi]
Commentary: It was a custom among the people of Madinah that they fastened stones onto their stomachs when they experienced severe pangs of hunger.
