أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ لَبَنِ الْجَلاَّلَةِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade riding the camel which feeds on filth and drinking its milk.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْجَلاَّلَةِ فِي الإِبِلِ أَنْ يُرْكَبَ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ يُشْرَبَ مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا
28.26 Regarding eating horse meat
٢٨۔٢٦ باب فِي أَكْلِ لُحُومِ الْخَيْلِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the flesh of domestic asses on the day of Khaibar, but permitted horse flesh.
نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ وَأَذِنَ لَنَا فِي لُحُومِ الْخَيْلِ
On the day of Khaybar we slaughtered horses, mules, and assess. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us (to eat) mules and asses, but he did not forbid horse-flesh.
ذَبَحْنَا يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ الْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ فَنَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْبِغَالِ وَالْحَمِيرِ وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا عَنِ الْخَيْلِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us to eat horse-flesh, the flesh of mules and of asses. The narrator Haywah added: Every beast of prey with a fang. Abu Dawud said: This view is held by Malik. Abu Dawud said: There is no harm in (eating) horse-flesh and this tradition is not practised. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been abrogated. A body of Companions of the Prophet ﷺ had eaten horse-flesh. OF them are: Ibn al-Zubair, Fudalah bin 'Ubaid, Anas bin Malik, Asma' daughter of Abu Bakr, Suwaid bin Ghaflah, 'Alqamah; the Quraish used to slaughter them (horses) during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ أَكْلِ لُحُومِ الْخَيْلِ وَالْبِغَالِ وَالْحَمِيرِ زَادَ حَيْوَةُ وَكُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ
28.27 Regarding eating rabbit
٢٨۔٢٧ باب فِي أَكْلِ الأَرْنَبِ
I was an adolescent boy. I hunted a hare and roasted it. Abu Talha sent its hunch through me to the Prophet ﷺ, so I brought it to him and he accepted it.
كُنْتُ غُلاَمًا حَزَوَّرًا فَصِدْتُ أَرْنَبًا فَشَوَيْتُهَا فَبَعَثَ مَعِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بِعَجُزِهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَقَبِلَهَا
‘Abd Allah b. ‘Amar was in al-safah. The narrator Muhammed (b. Khalid) said: it is a place in Mecca. A man brought a hare which he had haunted. He said: ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Amr, what do you say ? He said: It was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when I was sitting (with him). He did not eat it, nor did he prohibit to eat it. He thought that it menstruated.
مُحَمَّدٌ مَكَانٌ بِمَكَّةَ وَإِنَّ رَجُلاً جَاءَ بِأَرْنَبٍ قَدْ صَادَهَا فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو مَا تَقُولُ قَالَ قَدْ جِيءَ بِهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْهَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْ أَكْلِهَا وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهَا تَحِيضُ
28.28 Regarding eating mastigure
٢٨۔٢٨ باب فِي أَكْلِ الضَّبِّ .
Ibn ‘Abbas said that his maternal aunt presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ clarified butter, lizards and cottage cheese. He ate from clarified butter and cheese, but left the lizard abominably. It was eaten on the food cloth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Had it been unlawful, it would not have been eaten on the food cloth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
أَنَّ خَالَتَهُ أَهْدَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمْنًا وَأَضُبًّا وَأَقِطًا فَأَكَلَ مِنَ السَّمْنِ وَمِنَ الأَقِطِ وَتَرَكَ الأَضُبَّ تَقَذُّرًا وَأُكِلَ عَلَى مَائِدَتِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ حَرَامًا مَا أُكِلَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
It is a lizard. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hand. I (Khalid) asked: Is it forbidden, Messenger of Allah? He replied, No, but it is not found in the land of my people, so I find it distasteful. Khalid said: I then pulled it and ate it while The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was seeing.
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْتَ مَيْمُونَةَ فَأُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ مَحْنُوذٍ فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ اللاَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ أَخْبِرُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِمَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ فَقَالُوا هُوَ ضَبٌّ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ
We were in an army with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We got some lizards. I roasted one lizard and brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and placed it before him. He took a stick and counted its fingers. He then said: A group from the children of Isra'il was transformed into an animal of the land, and I do not know which animal it was. He did not eat it nor did he forbid (its eating).
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي جَيْشٍ فَأَصَبْنَا ضِبَابًا قَالَ فَشَوَيْتُ مِنْهَا ضَبًّا فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَضَعْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا فَعَدَّ بِهِ أَصَابِعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فِي الأَرْضِ وَإِنِّي لاَ أَدْرِي أَىُّ الدَّوَابِّ هِيَ قَالَ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade to eat the flesh of lizard.

٢٨۔٣٠ باب فِي أَكْلِ حَشَرَاتِ الأَرْضِ
I accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but I did not hear about the prohibition of (eating) insects and little creatures of land.
صَحِبْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ لِحَشَرَةِ الأَرْضِ تَحْرِيمًا
Numaylah said: I was with Ibn Umar. He was asked about eating hedgehog. He recited: "Say: I find not in the message received by me by inspiration any (meat) forbidden." An old man who was with him said: I heard AbuHurayrah say: It was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Noxious of the noxious. Ibn Umar said: If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said it, it is as he said that we did not know.
عَنْ أَكْلِ الْقُنْفُذِ فَتَلاَ { قُلْ لاَ أَجِدُ فِيمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ مُحَرَّمًا } الآيَةَ قَالَ قَالَ شَيْخٌ عِنْدَهُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ خَبِيثَةٌ مِنَ الْخَبَائِثِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِنْ كَانَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذَا فَهُوَ كَمَا قَالَ مَا لَمْ نَدْرِ
28.31 Things for which no prohibition is mentioned
٢٨۔٣١ باب مَا لَمْ يُذْكَرْ تَحْرِيمُهُ
The people of pre-Islamic times used to eat some things and leave others alone, considering them unclean. Then Allah sent His Prophet ﷺ and sent down His Book, marking some things lawful and others unlawful; so what He made lawful is lawful, what he made unlawful is unlawful, and what he said nothing about is allowable. And he recited: "Say: I find not in the message received by me by inspiration any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it...." up to the end of the verse.
كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَأْكُلُونَ أَشْيَاءَ وَيَتْرُكُونَ أَشْيَاءَ تَقَذُّرًا فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى نَبِيَّهُ وَأَنْزَلَ كِتَابَهُ وَأَحَلَّ حَلاَلَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ فَمَا أَحَلَّ فَهُوَ حَلاَلٌ وَمَا حَرَّمَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ وَمَا سَكَتَ عَنْهُ فَهُوَ عَفْوٌ وَتَلاَ { قُلْ لاَ أَجِدُ فِيمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ مُحَرَّمًا } إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ
28.32 Regarding eating hyena
٢٨۔٣٢ باب فِي أَكْلِ الضَّبُعِ
I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the hyena. He replied: It is game, and if one who is wearing ihram (pilgrim's robe) hunts it, he should give a sheep as atonement.
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الضَّبُعِ فَقَالَ هُوَ صَيْدٌ وَيُجْعَلُ فِيهِ كَبْشٌ إِذَا صَادَهُ الْمُحْرِمُ

٢٨۔٣٣ باب النَّهْىِ عَنْ أَكْلِ السِّبَاعِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited eating fanged beasts of prey.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ أَكْلِ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السَّبُعِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the eating of every beast of prey with fang, and every bird with a talon.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَكْلِ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السَّبُعِ وَعَنْ كُلِّ ذِي مِخْلَبٍ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: Beware, the fanged beast of prey is not lawful, nor the domestic asses, nor the find from the property of a man with whom treaty has been concluded, except that he did not need it. If anyone is a guest of people who provide no hospitality for him, he is entitled to take from them the equivalent of the hospitality due to him.
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَلاَ لاَ يَحِلُّ ذُو نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ وَلاَ الْحِمَارُ الأَهْلِيُّ وَلاَ اللُّقَطَةُ مِنْ مَالِ مُعَاهِدٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَسْتَغْنِيَ عَنْهَا وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ ضَافَ قَوْمًا فَلَمْ يَقْرُوهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ أَنْ يُعْقِبَهُمْ بِمِثْلِ قِرَاهُ
On the day of Khaybar the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited eating every beast of prey, and every bird with a talon.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ عَنْ أَكْلِ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ وَعَنْ كُلِّ ذِي مِخْلَبٍ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ
I went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to fight at the battle of Khaybar, and the Jews came and complained that the people had hastened to take their protected property (as a booty), so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The property of those who have been given a mules, every fanged beast of prey, and every bird with a talon are forbidden for you.
غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْبَرَ فَأَتَتِ الْيَهُودُ فَشَكَوْا أَنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَسْرَعُوا إِلَى حَظَائِرِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلاَ لاَ تَحِلُّ أَمْوَالُ الْمُعَاهِدِينَ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهَا وَحَرَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ حُمُرُ الأَهْلِيَّةِ وَخَيْلُهَا وَبِغَالُهَا وَكُلُّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ وَكُلُّ ذِي مِخْلَبٍ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ
that the Prophet ﷺ forbade payment for a cat. Ibn AbdulMalik said: to eat a cat and to enjoy its price.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْهِرِّ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ أَكْلِ الْهِرِّ وَأَكْلِ ثَمَنِهَا
28.34 Regarding eating the meat of domestic donkeys
٢٨۔٣٤ باب فِي أَكْلِ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ
On the day of Khaibar the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us to eat the flesh of domestic asses, and ordered us to eat horse-flesh. ‘Amr said: I informed Abu al-Sha’tha’ about this tradition. He said: Al-Hakam al-Ghifari among us said this, and the” ocean” denied that, intending thereby Ibn’ Abbas.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ عَنْ أَنْ نَأْكُلَ لُحُومَ الْحُمُرِ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ لُحُومَ الْخَيْلِ قَالَ عَمْرٌو فَأَخْبَرْتُ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ أَبَا الشَّعْثَاءِ فَقَالَ قَدْ كَانَ الْحَكَمُ الْغِفَارِيُّ فِينَا يَقُولُ هَذَا وَأَبَى ذَلِكَ الْبَحْرُ يُرِيدُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ
We faced a famine, and I had nothing from my property which I could feed my family ex except a few asses, and the Prophet ﷺ forbade the flesh of domestic asses. So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon) , we are suffering from famine, and I have no property which I feed my family except some fat asses, and you have forbidden the flesh of domestic asses. He said: Feed your family on the fat asses of yours, for I forbade them on account of the animal which feeds on the filth of the town, that is, the animal which feeds on filth. Abu Dawud said: This 'Abd al-Rahman is Ibn Ma'qil. Abu Dawud said: Suh'bah transmitted this tradition from 'Ubaid Abi al-Hasan, from 'Abd al-Rahman bin Maq'il, from'Abd al-Rahman bin Bishr, from some people of Muzainah stating that Abjar, the chief of Muzainah, or Ibn Abjar asked the Prophet ﷺ.
أَصَابَتْنَا سَنَةٌ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي مَالِي شَىْءٌ أُطْعِمُ أَهْلِي إِلاَّ شَىْءٌ مِنْ حُمُرٍ وَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَرَّمَ لُحُومَ الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَصَابَتْنَا السَّنَةُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي مَالِي مَا أُطْعِمُ أَهْلِي إِلاَّ سِمَانُ الْحُمُرِ وَإِنَّكَ حَرَّمْتَ لُحُومَ الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ أَطْعِمْ أَهْلَكَ مِنْ سَمِينِ حُمُرِكَ فَإِنَّمَا حَرَّمْتُهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ جَوَالِّ الْقَرْيَةِ يَعْنِي الْجَلاَّلَةَ
I think it was Ghalib who had come to the Prophet ﷺ with tradition.
مِسْعَرٌ أَرَى غَالِبًا الَّذِي أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ
On the day of Khaybar the Messenger of Allah (may pease be upon him) forbade (eating) the flesh of domestic asses, and the animal which feeds on filth: riding it and eating its flesh.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ وَعَنِ الْجَلاَّلَةِ عَنْ رُكُوبِهَا وَأَكْلِ لَحْمِهَا
28.35 Regarding eating locusts
٢٨۔٣٥ باب فِي أَكْلِ الْجَرَادِ
I heard Ibn Abi Awfa say when I asked him about (eating) locusts: I went on six or seven expeditions along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we ate them (locusts) along with him.
غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سِتَّ أَوْ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ فَكُنَّا نَأْكُلُهُ مَعَهُ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about (eating) locusts. He replied: They are the most numerous of Allah's hosts. I neither eat them nor declare them unlawful.
سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الْجَرَادِ فَقَالَ أَكْثَرُ جُنُودِ اللَّهِ لاَ آكُلُهُ وَلاَ أُحَرِّمُهُ
Salman said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about locusts. He replied in a similar way(as mentioned above) saying: The most numerous of Allah’s host. The narrator ‘Ali said: His name is Fa’id, that is the name of al-Awwam. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Hammad b. Salamah, from Abu al-Awwam from Abu uthman, from the Prophet ﷺ. He did not mention salman (i.e., the companions).
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ فَقَالَ مِثْلَهُ فَقَالَ أَكْثَرُ جُنْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ اسْمُهُ فَائِدٌ يَعْنِي أَبَا الْعَوَّامِ
28.36 Regarding eating the fish that die in the sea and float
٢٨۔٣٦ باب فِي أَكْلِ الطَّافِي مِنَ السَّمَكِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: What the sea throws up and is left by the tide you may eat, but what dies in the sea and floats you must not eat. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Sufyan al-Thawri, Ayyub and Hammad from Abu al-Zubair as the statement of Jabor himself (and not from the Prophet). It has been also transmitted direct from the Prophet ﷺ through a weak chain by Abu Dhi'b, from Abu al-Zubair on the authority if Jabir from the Prophet ﷺ.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا أَلْقَى الْبَحْرُ أَوْ جَزَرَ عَنْهُ فَكُلُوهُ وَمَا مَاتَ فِيهِ وَطَفَا فَلاَ تَأْكُلُوهُ
28.37 Regarding one who is compelled by necessity to eat dead meat
٢٨۔٣٧ باب فِي الْمُضْطَرِّ إِلَى الْمَيْتَةِ
A man alighted at Harrah with his wife and children. A man said (to him): My she-camel has strayed; if you find it, detain it. He found it, but did not find its owner, and it fell ill. His wife said: Slaughter it. But he refused and it died. She said: Skin it so that we may dry its fat and flesh and then eat them. He said: Let me ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So he came to him (the Prophet) and asked him. He said: Have you sufficient for your needs? He replied: No. He then said: Then eat it. Then its owner came and he told him the story. He said: Why did you not slaughter it? He replied: I was ashamed (or afraid) of you.
أَنَّ رَجُلاً نَزَلَ الْحَرَّةَ وَمَعَهُ أَهْلُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ إِنَّ نَاقَةً لِي ضَلَّتْ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَهَا فَأَمْسِكْهَا فَوَجَدَهَا فَلَمْ يَجِدْ صَاحِبَهَا فَمَرِضَتْ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ انْحَرْهَا فَأَبَى فَنَفَقَتْ فَقَالَتِ اسْلُخْهَا حَتَّى نُقَدِّدَ شَحْمَهَا وَلَحْمَهَا وَنَأْكُلَهُ فَقَالَ حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَكَ غِنًى يُغْنِيكَ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَكُلُوهَا قَالَ فَجَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَأَخْبَرَهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ هَلاَّ كُنْتَ نَحَرْتَهَا قَالَ اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْكَ
Al-Faji' came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked: Is not dead meat lawful for us? He said: What is your food? We said: Some food in the evening and some in the morning. AbuNu'aym said: Uqbah explained it to me saying: a cup (of milk) in the morning and a cup in the evening; this does not satisfy the hunger. So made the carrion lawful for them in this condition. Abu Dawud said: Ghabuq is a drink in the evening and Sabuh is a drink in the morning.
أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ قَالَ مَا طَعَامُكُمْ قُلْنَا نَغْتَبِقُ وَنَصْطَبِحُ قَالَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ فَسَّرَهُ لِي عُقْبَةُ قَدَحٌ غُدْوَةً وَقَدَحٌ عَشِيَّةً قَالَ ذَاكَ وَأَبِي الْجُوعُ فَأَحَلَّ لَهُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْحَالِ
28.38 Regarding combining two types of food
٢٨۔٣٨ باب فِي الْجَمْعِ بَيْنَ لَوْنَيْنِ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: I wish I had a white loaf made from tawny and softened with clarified butter and milk. A man from among the people got up and getting one brought it. He asked: In which had it been? He replied: In a lizard skin. He said: Take it away. Abu Dawud said: This is a munkar (rejected) tradition. Abu Dawud said: Ayyub, the narrator of this tradition, is not (Ayyub) al-Sakhtiyani.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ عِنْدِي خُبْزَةً بَيْضَاءَ مِنْ بُرَّةٍ سَمْرَاءَ مُلَبَّقَةً بِسَمْنٍ وَلَبَنٍ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَاتَّخَذَهُ فَجَاءَ بِهِ فَقَالَ فِي أَىِّ شَىْءٍ كَانَ هَذَا قَالَ فِي عُكَّةِ ضَبٍّ قَالَ ارْفَعْهُ

28.41 Regarding eating garlic
٢٨۔٤١ باب فِي أَكْلِ الثُّومِ
He who eats garlic or onion must keep away from us. Or he said: must keep away from our mosque or must sit in his house. A dish containing green vegetables was brought to him, and noticing that it had an odour he asked (about it). He was told that it contained some vegetables. He then said: Bring it near, to one of his companion who was with him. When he saw it, he abominated eating it, and said: eat for I hold intimate converse with one with whom you do not. Ahmad b. Salih said: Ibn Wahb explained the word badr as meaning dish.
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَكَلَ ثُومًا أَوْ بَصَلاً فَلْيَعْتَزِلْنَا أَوْ لِيَعْتَزِلْ مَسْجِدَنَا وَلْيَقْعُدْ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَإِنَّهُ أُتِيَ بِبَدْرٍ فِيهِ خَضِرَاتٌ مِنَ الْبُقُولِ فَوَجَدَ لَهَا رِيحًا فَسَأَلَ فَأُخْبِرَ بِمَا فِيهَا مِنَ الْبُقُولِ فَقَالَ قَرِّبُوهَا إِلَى بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ كَانَ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ كَرِهَ أَكْلَهَا قَالَ كُلْ فَإِنِّي أُنَاجِي مَنْ لاَ تُنَاجِي قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ بِبَدْرٍ فَسَّرَهُ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ طَبَقٌ
The garlic and onions were mentioned before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He was told: The most severe of them is garlic. Would you make it unlawful? The Prophet ﷺ said: Eat it, and he who eats it should not come near this mosque until its odour goes away.
أَنَّهُ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الثُّومُ وَالْبَصَلُ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَشَدُّ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ الثُّومُ أَفَتُحَرِّمُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كُلُوهُ وَمَنْ أَكَلَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلاَ يَقْرَبْ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدَ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ رِيحُهُ مِنْهُ
Zirr ibn Hubaysh said: Hudhayfah traced, I think, to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the saying: He who spits in the direction of the qiblah will come on the Day of Resurrection in the state that his saliva will be between his eyes; and he who eats from this noxious vegetable should not come near our mosque, saying it three times.
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ تَفَلَ تِجَاهَ الْقِبْلَةِ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَفْلُهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَمَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَقْلَةِ الْخَبِيثَةِ فَلاَ يَقْرَبَنَّ مَسْجِدَنَا ثَلاَثًا
The Prophet ﷺ said: He who eats from this plant should not come near the mosques.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَلاَ يَقْرَبَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ
I ate garlic and came to the place where the Prophet ﷺ was praying; one rak'ah of prayer had been performed when I joined. When I entered the mosque, the Prophet ﷺ noticed the odour of garlic. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he said: He who eats from this plant should not come near us until its odour has gone away. When I finished the prayer, I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, do give me your hand. Then I put his hand in the sleeve of my shirt, carrying it to my chest to show that my chest was fastened with a belt. He said: You have a (valid) excuse.
أَكَلْتُ ثُومًا فَأَتَيْتُ مُصَلَّى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَدْ سُبِقْتُ بِرَكْعَةٍ فَلَمَّا دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَجَدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رِيحَ الثُّومِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَتَهُ قَالَ مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَلاَ يَقْرَبْنَا حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ رِيحُهَا أَوْ رِيحُهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ الصَّلاَةَ جِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَتُعْطِيَنِّي يَدَكَ قَالَ فَأَدْخَلْتُ يَدَهُ فِي كُمِّ قَمِيصِي إِلَى صَدْرِي فَإِذَا أَنَا مَعْصُوبُ الصَّدْرِ قَالَ إِنَّ لَكَ عُذْرًا
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade these two plants (i.e. garlic and onions), and he said: He who eats them should not come near our mosque. If it is necessary to eat them, make them dead by cooking, that is, onions and garlic.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ هَاتَيْنِ الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ وَقَالَ مَنْ أَكَلَهُمَا فَلاَ يَقْرَبَنَّ مَسْجِدَنَا وَقَالَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لاَ بُدَّ آكِلِيهِمَا فَأَمِيتُوهُمَا طَبْخًا قَالَ يَعْنِي الْبَصَلَ وَالثُّومَ
It is forbidden to eat garlic unless it is cooked. Abu Dawud said: The full name of the narrator Sharik is Sharik bin Hanbal.
Khalid said: AbuZiyad Khiyar ibn Salamah asked Aisha about onions. She replied: The last food which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ate was some which contained onions.
إِنَّ آخِرَ طَعَامٍ أَكَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَعَامٌ فِيهِ بَصَلٌ
28.42 Regarding dates
٢٨۔٤٢ باب فِي التَّمْرِ
I saw that the Prophet ﷺ took a piece of bread of barley and put a date on it and said: This is the condiment of this.
رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَخَذَ كِسْرَةً مِنْ خُبْزِ شَعِيرٍ فَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهَا تَمْرَةً وَقَالَ هَذِهِ إِدَامُ هَذِهِ
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْتٌ لاَ تَمْرَ فِيهِ جِيَاعٌ أَهْلُهُ
28.43 Regarding checking dates for worms before eating
٢٨۔٤٣ باب فِي تَفْتِيشِ التَّمْرِ الْمُسَوَّسِ عِنْدَ الأَكْلِ
When the Prophet ﷺ was brought some old dates, he began to examine them and remove the worms from them.
أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِتَمْرٍ عَتِيقٍ فَجَعَلَ يُفَتِّشُهُ يُخْرِجُ السُّوسَ مِنْهُ
The Prophet ﷺ was brought some dates which contained worms. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect as the previous (No 3823).
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُؤْتَى بِالتَّمْرِ فِيهِ دُودٌ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ
28.44 Taking two dates at a time when eating
٢٨۔٤٤ باب الإِقْرَانِ فِي التَّمْرِ عِنْدَ الأَكْلِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited anyone taking two dates together with the exception that you ask permission from your companions.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الإِقْرَانِ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَسْتَأْذِنَ أَصْحَابَكَ
28.45 Regarding combining two types of food
٢٨۔٤٥ باب فِي الْجَمْعِ بَيْنَ لَوْنَيْنِ فِي الأَكْلِ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ الْقِثَّاءَ بِالرُّطَبِ
