"I never saw any woman who made food like Safiyyah. She sent a dish to the Prophet in which was some food, and I could not keep myself from breaking it. I asked the Prophet what the expiation was for that, and he said: 'A dish like that dish, and food like that food.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3957)

أحمد:٢٥١٥٥ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ فُلَيْتٍ حَدَّثَتْنِي جَسْرَةُعَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ صَانِعَةَ طَعَامٍ مِثْلَ صَفِيَّةَ أَهْدَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَاءً فِيهِ طَعَامٌ فَمَا مَلَكْتُ نَفْسِي أَنْ كَسَرْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا كَفَّارَتُهُ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَاءٌ كَإِنَاءٍ وَطَعَامٌ كَطَعَامٍ
