Commentary
'Or feeding' means to provide food for something that is capable of it. 'On a day of hunger' means a general hunger in a place of hunger and a time of hunger, as the description and wording imply. Therefore, this carries the meaning of being cautious with what is available, fearing something similar to what is in the food. Thus, he opposed his own desires and preferred it over himself, relying on Allah.
