Sayyidunā Waĥb Bin Ward رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه used to eat only one flatbread after remaining hungry for two or three consecutive days. Before eating, he used to supplicate to Almighty Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in the following manner, ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! You are aware that I am not strong enough to worship You without eating; I am fearful of weakness and grief. O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! If there is something unlawful or Ḥarām in this bread, do not punish me if it enters my stomach unknowingly.’ After making this Du’ā, he would soak the bread in water and then eat it. (Minĥāj-ul-‘Ābidīn, pp. 98)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!
