It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that when the first fruits (of the
season)
were brought, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would say:
“O
Allah,
bless us in our city and in our fruits, in our Mudd and in our
Sa’,*
blessing upon blessing.” Then he would give it to the smallest
of
the children present.
Chapter 40: Eating unripe dates with ripe dates - كتاب الأطعمة
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" كُلُوا الْبَلَحَ بِالتَّمْرِ كُلُوا الْخَلَقَ بِالْجَدِيدِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَغْضَبُ وَيَقُولُ بَقِيَ ابْنُ آدَمَ حَتَّى أَكَلَ الْخَلَقَ بِالْجَدِيدِ " .
It was
narrated from ‘Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Eat
unripe dates with ripe one and eat old dates with new ones, for Satan gets angry and says: ‘The
son
of Adam will survive so long as he eats old dates with new ones.’”
Chapter 41: The prohibition of eating two dates at once - كتاب الأطعمة
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْخَزَّازُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ - وَكَانَ سَعْدٌ يَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَكَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ حَدِيثُهُ - أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ نَهَى عَنِ الإِقْرَانِ . يَعْنِي فِي التَّمْرِ .
It was
narrated from Sa’d, the freed slave of Abu Bakr – and Sa’d
used
to serve the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he liked this Hadith –
that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade eating two dates at once.
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ جَابِرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنِ ابْنَىْ، بُسْرٍ السُّلَمِيَّيْنِ قَالاَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَوَضَعْنَا تَحْتَهُ قَطِيفَةً لَنَا صَبَبْنَاهَا لَهُ صَبًّا فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْىَ فِي بَيْتِنَا وَقَدَّمْنَا لَهُ زُبْدًا وَتَمْرًا وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ الزُّبْدَ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ .
It was
narrated that the two sons of Busr, who were of the tribe of
Sulaim,
said:
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon us. We placed
a
velvet cloth of ours beneath him and sprinkled water on it.* He sat
on it, and Allah sent down Revelation to him in our house. We offered
him butter and dates, and he (ﷺ) liked butter.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، سَأَلْتُ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ النَّقِيَّ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّقِيَّ حَتَّى قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ . فَقُلْتُ فَهَلْ كَانَ لَهُمْ مَنَاخِلُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ مُنْخُلاً حَتَّى قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ . قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ الشَّعِيرَ غَيْرَ مَنْخُولٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ نَنْفُخُهُ فَيَطِيرُ مِنْهُ مَا طَارَ وَمَا بَقِيَ ثَرَّيْنَاهُ .
‘Abdul-‘Aziz bin Abu Hazim said:
My father told me: I asked Sahl
bin
Sa’d: “Did you ever see dough made from well-sifted flour?”
He said:
“I never saw dough made from well-sifted flour until the
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) passed away.” I said: “Did they have
sieves at the time of
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?” He said: “I
never saw a sieve until the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed away.”
I said: “How did you eat barley
that was not sifted?” He said:
“We used to blow on it, and whatever
flew away, flew away, and
whatever was left we made dough with it.”
It was
narrated from Umm Ayman that she sifted some flour and made a
loaf of
bread for the Prophet (ﷺ). He said:
“What is this?” She
said:
“It is food that we make in our land, and I wanted to make a
loaf
of it for you. He said: “Fold it onto itself and knead it.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ، عِيسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النَّحَّاسِ الرَّمْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْرَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ زَارَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَوْمَهُ بِيُبْنَا فَأَتَوْهُ بِرُقَاقٍ مِنْ رُقَاقِ الأُوَلِ فَبَكَى وَقَالَ مَا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ هَذَا بِعَيْنِهِ قَطُّ .
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Ata that his father said:
“Abu Hurairah
visited his people, meaning, a village” – I (one of the
narrators)
think he said: “Yuna” – “And they brought him some
of the first thin
loaves of bread. He wept and said: ‘The Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) never
saw such a thing with his own eyes.’”
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَأْتِي أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ - قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ وَخَبَّازُهُ قَائِمٌ وَقَالَ الدَّارِمِيُّ وَخِوَانُهُ مَوْضُوعٌ - فَقَالَ يَوْمًا كُلُوا فَمَا أَعْلَمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَأَى رَغِيفًا مُرَقَّقًا بِعَيْنِهِ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ شَاةً سَمِيطًا قَطُّ .
Qatadah
said:
“We used to go to (visit) Anas bin Malik.” (One of the
narrators) Ishaq said: “And his baker was standing there.” (In
another
narration) Darimi said: “And his table was set. He said one
day:
‘(Come and) eat, for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) never saw
any thin
loaf of bread until he met Allah, nor any roasted sheep
(with
skin).’”*
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ السُّلَمِيُّ أَبُو الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَوَّلُ مَا سَمِعْنَا بِالْفَالُوذَجِ، أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ، عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ تُفْتَحُ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَرْضُ فَيُفَاضُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ الْفَالُوذَجَ . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" وَمَا الْفَالُوذَجُ " . قَالَ يَخْلِطُونَ السَّمْنَ وَالْعَسَلَ جَمِيعًا . فَشَهَقَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ لِذَلِكَ شَهْقَةً .
It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said:
“The first we heard of
Faludhaj*
was when Jibril (as) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said:
‘The world
will be opened for your nation and they will conquer the
world, until
they eat Faludhaj.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘What is
Faludhaj?’
He said: ‘They mix ghee and honey together.’ At that, the
Prophet
(ﷺ) sobbed.”
Chapter 47: Bread softened with ghee - كتاب الأطعمة
حَدَّثَنَا هَدِيَّةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى السِّيْنَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ " وَدِدْتُ لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا خُبْزَةً بَيْضَاءَ مِنْ بُرَّةٍ سَمْرَاءَ مُلَبَّقَةٍ بِسَمْنٍ نَأْكُلُهَا " . قَالَ فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَاتَّخَذَهُ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " فِي أَىِّ شَىْءٍ كَانَ هَذَا السَّمْنُ " . قَالَ فِي عُكَّةِ ضَبٍّ . قَالَ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ .
It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:
“One day, the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘I wish that we had some white bread made of brown
wheat,
softened with ghee, that we could eat.’ A man from among the
Ansar
heard that, so he took some (of that food) and brought it to
him. The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Where was this ghee kept?’
He said:
‘In a container made of mastigure skin.’ And he refused
to eat it.”
Chapter 47: Bread softened with ghee - كتاب الأطعمة
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ صَنَعَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ خُبْزَةً وَضَعَتْ فِيهَا شَيْئًا مِنْ سَمْنٍ ثُمَّ قَالَتِ اذْهَبْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَادْعُهُ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أُمِّي تَدْعُوكَ . قَالَ فَقَامَ وَقَالَ لِمَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ " قُومُوا " . قَالَ فَسَبَقْتُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ " هَاتِي مَا صَنَعْتِ " . فَقَالَتْ إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُهُ لَكَ وَحْدَكَ . فَقَالَ " هَاتِيهِ " . فَقَالَ " يَا أَنَسُ أَدْخِلْ عَلَىَّ عَشْرَةً عَشْرَةً " . قَالَ فَمَا زِلْتُ أُدْخِلُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرَةً عَشْرَةً فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَكَانُوا ثَمَانِينَ .
It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik said:
“Umm Sulaim made some bread
for
the Prophet (ﷺ), and she put a little ghee on it. Then she said:
‘Go to the Prophet (ﷺ) and invite him (to come and eat).’ So I
went
and told him: ‘My mother is inviting you (to come and eat).’
So he
stood up, and said to the people who were with him: ‘Get up.’
I went
ahead of him and told her. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) came and
said:
‘Bring what you have made.’ She said: ‘I only made it for
you alone.’
He said: ‘Bring it.’ Then he said: ‘O Anas, bring
(them) in to me ten
by ten.’ So I kept bringing them in ten by ten,
and they ate their
fill, and there were eighty of them.”

it was
narrated that ‘Aishah said:
“The family of Muhammad (ﷺ)
never
ate their fill of wheat bread for three nights in a row, from
the
time they came to Al-Madinah until he passed away.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَقَدْ تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَمَا فِي بَيْتِي مِنْ شَىْءٍ يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ إِلاَّ شَطْرُ شَعِيرٍ فِي رَفٍّ لِي فَأَكَلْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى طَالَ عَلَىَّ فَكِلْتُهُ فَفَنِيَ .
It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said:
“When the Prophet (ﷺ) passed
away,
there was nothing in my house that any living soul could eat,
except
a little bit of barley on a shelf of mine. I ate it for a long
time,
then I weighed it and soon it was all gone.”

Miqdam
bin Madikarib said:
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:
‘A
human being fills no worse vessel than his stomach. It is
sufficient
for a human being to eat a few mouthfuls to keep his spine
straight.
But if he must (fill it), then one third of food, one third
for drink
and one third for air.’”

" كُفَّ جُشَاءَكَ عَنَّا فَإِنَّ أَطْوَلَكُمْ جُوعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَكْثَرُكُمْ شِبَعًا فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا " .
It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:
“A man burped in the presence of
the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: ‘Withhold your burps from us! For
the
most hungry of you on the Day of Resurrection will be those who
most
ate their fill in this world.’”
