Mortgaging
Chapter: The Statement of Allah Taa'la: "And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then let there be a pledge taken..."
Narrated Anas:
No doubt, the Prophet (ﷺ) mortgaged his armor for barley grams. Once I took barley bread with some dissolved fat on it to the Prophet (ﷺ) and I heard him saying, "The household of Muhammad did not possess except a Sa (of food grain, barley, etc.) for both the morning and the evening meals although they were nine houses."
Sahih al-Bukhari 2508
