Hadith 51: Tirmizi and Ibn Majah
have reported from Miqdaam bin Ma’di Kurb رضی اللہ
تعالٰی عنہ. He says, ‘I heard Nabi صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ
وسلَّم saying, ‘Man has not filled any vessel that is worse than the
stomach. A few morsels are sufficient for Ibn Adam (the offspring of Adam) to
keep his back in order (i.e. straight). If there is a need for him to eat more,
then he should allocate one third for food, one third for water and one third for
breathing’.’
Hadith 52: Tirmizi reported from
Ibn-e-Umar رضی اللہ
تعالٰی عنہما that Nabi صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم heard the sound of a person burping.
Rasoolullah صلَّی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘Limit the sound of your burping, for
he who over fills his stomach in the world will be the hungriest on the Day of
Qiyaamat’.
Hadith 53: It is in Sahih Muslim
from Anas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ. He
says, ‘I saw Nabi-e-Kareem صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم eating some dates. Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم
was seated on his rear in such a manner that
both his knees were upright’.
Hadith 54: It is reported in Sahih
Bukhari and Muslim from Ibn Umar رضی اللہ
تعالٰی عنہما that Rasoolullah
صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم forbade (us from) eating two Dates together,
except when those with whom you are eating permit you to do so.
Hadith 55: It is in Sahih Muslim
from A’isha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا
that Nabi-e-Kareem صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ
وسلَّم said, ‘The family of a person, who has dates in his home, is never
without a meal’. It has been mentioned in another narration that, the family of
a person who has no dates in his home, is without a meal.
This refers to the era and the place wherein dates are in
abundance. In other words, when they had dates in their homes, they were very comfortable
and their families and children had sufficient to eat. When they were hungry,
they would partake in the dates and this would alleviate their hunger.
Hadith 56: It is in Muslim from
Abu Ayub Ansari رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that when food
would be presented before Nabi
صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم he would send the remainder to me, after partaking in it. Once, he
sent a platter of food to me from which he had not eaten anything, because it
contained garlic. I thus enquired if it (garlic) was haraam and he said, ‘No, I
do not prefer it because of its odour.’ (So) I said, ‘I too do not desire that which
Huzoor صلَّی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم does not prefer.’
Hadith 57: It is in Sahih Bukhari
and Muslim from Hazrat Jaabir رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that
either Nabi صلَّی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, he who eats garlic or onions should remain at a distance
from us’, or he said that, ‘he should keep away from our Musjid, or that he
should remain in his home.’ (Once), a pot containing green vegetables was
presented before Rasool صلَّی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم
. Huzoor صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ
وسلَّم said, ‘Give it to such and such (of my) companions.’ He then said to
them, ‘You may partake in it, for I converse with them and you do not converse
with them (i.e. with the Angels).’
Hadith 58: Tirmizi and Abu Dawud
have reported from Hazrat Maula Ali رضی اللہ
تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم cautioned us against eating garlic, unless it was cooked.
Hadith 59: Tirmizi reported from
Umm-e-Haani رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا.
She says, ‘Huzoor صلَّی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم came to my home and asked if there was
anything (to eat). I said that there was nothing except dry bread (roti) and vinegar.’
He صلَّی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘Bring it forth! The people in a home
which has vinegar are never dependant on any condiment.’
Hadith 60: It is in Sahih Muslim
from Jaabir رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ
وسلَّم requested
some condiment from the people of the house. They said that with the exception
of vinegar they had nothing else. Huzoor
صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم requested it and commenced eating with it and
he repeatedly said, ‘Vinegar is a good condiment’.
Hadith 61: Ibn Majah reported on
the authority of Asma bint Yazeed رضی اللہ
تعالٰی عنہا that some food was
presented before Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم . Huzoor-e-Akram صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم presented it to us and we said that we had no
need to eat. He صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘do not combine hunger and lies!’ In
other words, when you are hungry and someone offers you food, do not say that
you are not hungry, but partake in the meal, for not to eat and then to lie is
harmful in this world and in the hereafter. Some people who are shy generally
do this and many villagers that unless they are not asked to eat repeatedly;
they refuse to partake in the meal by saying that they are not hungry. It is
necessary to abstain from telling lies.
Hadith 62: It is in Muslim from
Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ. He
says, ‘Once, Rasoolullah صلَّی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم went out and he also met with Hazrat Abu Bakr
and Hazrat Umar رضی اللہ
تعالٰی عنہما. Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ
وسلَّم asked, ‘what is it that has drawn you out of your homes?’ They
said, ‘Hunger’. He صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘By Him in Whose Divine Control is my life!
That, which has drawn you out of you homes, has also brought me out of my
home.’ Nabi-e-Akram صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم commanded them to stand up. They stood up
with Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم and went to the home of an Ansari. They found
that he was not at his home. The wife of that Ansari saw them, and immediately
welcomed them. Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم asked, ‘where is so and so person?’ She
replied that he had gone to fetch some sweet water. Just then, the Ansari
returned. On seeing The Holy Prophet صلَّی اللہ
تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم
and Hazrat Abu Bakr and Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما he said,
‘today, there is none more fortunate than I, for such exalted visitors have
come to my home.’ He then presented (them) with a bunch of dates, of which some
were ripe whilst others were dry and some were dripping. He requested the
blessed personalities to partake in it. He then brought out a knife. Nabi صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ
وسلَّم asked him not to slaughter one that gave milk. The Ansari
slaughtered the goat. The blessed personalities partook in the meat and the
dates and drank water. After they had completed eating, he صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ
وسلَّم said to Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Umarرضی
اللہ تعالٰی عنہما
‘By Him in Whose Divine Control is my life!
On the day of Qiyaamat you will be questioned regarding this blessing. Hunger
brought you out of your homes, and you were blessed with this blessing even
before you returned to your homes.’’
Hadith 63: Muslim and Abu Dawud
reported from Umm-e-Salma رضی اللہ
تعالٰی عنہا that Huzoor صلَّی
اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘One who eats or drinks in silver or gold
vessels is allowing the fire of hell to enter his stomach.’
Hadith 64: Abu Dawud etc. have narrated
on the authority of Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ
تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah
صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘When a fly falls into your food, then
dip it in (and throw it away), for there is illness on one of its wings and
Shifa (cure) on the other. It tries to save itself by using that wing which
carries the illness and thus dips the wing which carries the illness first into
the food, so dip the entire (fly) in.’
Hadith 65: Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and
Daarimi report from Abu Hurairah رضی
اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ
وسلَّم said, ‘When a person
has eaten something (and some particles remain in his teeth) which he removes
by means of cleaning the teeth (making khilaal of the teeth), he should spit
out those (particles which come from the teeth) and if it is from the tongue,
then he may swallow it. Whosoever did this has done a good thing and if he
hasn’t, then there is no harm.’
