“We were with Talhah bin ‘Ubaidullah ؓ and we were in ihram. We were given a bird as a gift whilst Talhah was sleeping. Some of us ate and some of us refrained and did not eat. When Talhah woke up, he approved of those who had eaten it and said: “We ate it with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 1383)  

وَقَالَ أَكَلْنَاهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ»  

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3812)   

«غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ أَوْ سِتَّ غَزَوَاتٍ شَكَّ شُعْبَةُ فَكُنَّا نَأْكُلُ مَعَهُ الْجَرَادَ»  

Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) sent us (on an expedition) and appointed Abu 'Ubaida our chief that we might intercept a caravan of the Quraish and provided us with a bag of dates. And he found for us nothing besides it. Abu Ubaida gave each of us one date (everyday). I (Abu Zubair, one of the narrators) said: What did you do with that? He said: We sucked that just as a baby sucks and then drank water over that, and it sufficed us for the day until night. We beat off leaves with the help of our staffs, then drenched them with water and ate them. We then went to the coast of the sea, and there rose before us on the coast of the sea something like a big mound. We came near that and we found that it was a beast, called al-'Anbar (spermaceti whale). Abu 'Ubaida said. It is dead. He then said: No (but it does not matter), we have been sent by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the path of Allah and you are hard pressed (on account of the scarcity of food), so you eat that. We three hundred in number stayed there for a month, until we grew bulky. He (Jabir) said: I saw how we extracted pitcher after pitcher full of fat from the cavity of its eye, and sliced from it compact piece of meat equal to a bull or like a bull. Abu 'Ubaida called forth thirteen men from us and he made them sit in the cavity of its eye, and he took hold of one of the ribs of its chest and made it stand and then saddled the biggest of the camels we had with us and it passed under it (the arched rib), and we provided ourselves with pieces of boiled meat (especially for use in our journey). When we came back to Medina, we went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and made a mention of that to him, whereupon he said: That was a provision which Allah had brought forth for you. Is there any piece of meat (left) with you, so tnat you give to us that? He (Jabir) said: We sent to Messenger of Allah ﷺ tome of that (a piece of meat) and he ate it. (Using translation from Muslim 1935a)  

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْنَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ يَتَلَقَّى عِيرًا لِقُرَيْشٍ وَزَوَّدَنَا جِرَابَ تَمْرٍ لَمْ يَجِدْ لَنَا غَيْرَهُ فَكَانَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ يُطْعِمُنَا تَمْرَةً تَمْرَةً قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ بِهَا؟ قَالَ نَمُصُّهَا كَمَا يَمُصُّ الصَّبِيُّ ثُمَّ نَشْرَبُ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَيَكْفِينَا يَوْمَنَا إِلَى اللَّيْلِ قَالَ وَكُنَّا نَضْرِبُ بِعِصِيِّنَا الْخَبَطَ ثُمَّ نَبُلُّهُ بِالْمَاءِ فَنَأْكُلُهُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَرُفِعَ لَنَا عَلَى سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ كَهَيْئَةِ الْكَثِيبِ الضَّخْمِ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ دَابَّةٌ تُدْعَى الْعَنْبَرَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ مَيْتَةٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا نَحْنُ رُسُلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَقَدِ اضْطُرِرْتُمْ فَكُلُوا قَالَ فَأَقَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَهْرًا وَنَحْنُ ثَلَاثُ مِائَةٍ حَتَّى سَمِنَّا وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا نَغْتَرِفُ مِنْ وَقَبِ عَيْنَيْهِ بِالْقِلَالِ وَنَقْطَعُ مِنْهُ الْفِدَرَ كَالثَّوْرِ أَوْ كَقَدْرِ الثَّوْرِ وَلَقَدْ أَخَذَ مِنَّا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا فَأَقْعَدَهُمْ فِي وَقَبِ عَيْنِهِ وَأَخَذَ ضِلَعًا مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ فَأَقَامَهَا ثُمَّ أَرْحَلَ أَعْظَمَ بَعِيرٍ مِنَّا فَمَرَّ تَحْتَهَا قَالَ وَتَزَوَّدْنَا مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَشَائِقَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «هُوَ رِزْقٌ أَخْرَجَهُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِنْ لَحْمِهِ مَعَكُمْ شَيْءٌ تُطْعِمُونَا؟ » فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهِ مِنْهُ فَأَكَلَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a mission to the land of Juhaynah and assigned a man to lead them. When their supplies ran out, their leader ordered what remained of their provisions to be gathered. He then started to provide us with one date at a time to strengthen us every day. I asked, "O Abu Abdullah, did a single date suffice for you?" He replied, "By Allah, it did not. We lost it, and when we found it, one of us would place it between his teeth and cheek and suck on it, and we would also find some plant leaves and fruits to eat along with it. This continued until we reached the seashore, where Allah brought forth a whale that was cast by the sea. We ate from it and were satisfied. But when we wanted to depart, our leader ordered a portion of his own chest to be cut and tied to the ground. He then ordered a camel to be saddled, and we traveled underneath it."  

«بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْثًا إِلَى أَرْضِ جُهَيْنَةَ وَاسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلًا فَلَمَّا نَفِدَتْ أَزْوَادُهُمْ أَمَرَ أَمِيرُهُمْ بِمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ أَزْوَادِهِمْ فَجُمِعَتْ فَجَعَلَ يُقَوِّتُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَمْرَةً تَمْرَةً قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَتْ تُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ تَمْرَةٌ؟ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهَا فُقِدَتْ فَوَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهَا كَانَ أَحَدُنَا يَضَعُهَا بَيْنَ أَسْنَانِهِ وَحَنَكِهِ فَيَمُصُّهَا وَنُصِيبُ مِنْ وَرَقِ الشَّجَرِ وَنَبَاتِ الْأَرْضِ مَعَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ فَأَخْرَجَ اللَّهُ لَنَا حُوتًا أَلْقَاهُ الْبَحْرُ فَأَكَلْنَا وَقَدَدْنَا فَلَمَّا أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَرْتَحِلَ أَمَرَ أَمِيرُنَا بِضِلْعٍ مِنْ ضُلُوعِهِ فَنَكَبَ طَرَفَاهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِبَعِيرٍ فَرُحِّلَ فَمَرَّ تَحْتَهُ»  

"Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army towards the east coast and appointed Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as their chief, and the army consisted of three-hundred men including myself. We marched on till we reached a place where our food was about to finish. Abu- 'Ubaida ordered us to collect all the journey food and it was collected. My (our) journey food was dates. Abu 'Ubaida kept on giving us our daily ration in small amounts from it, till it was exhausted. The share of everyone of us used to be one date only." I said, "How could one date benefit you?" Jabir replied, "We came to know its value when even that too finished." Jabir added, "When we reached the sea-shore, we saw a huge fish which was like a small mountain. The army ate from it for eighteen days. Then Abu 'Ubaida ordered that two of its ribs be fixed and they were fixed in the ground. Then he ordered that a she-camel be ridden and it passed under the two ribs (forming an arch) without touching them." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2483)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْثًا قِبَلَ السَّاحِلِ وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْنَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ وَهُمْ ثَلَاثُ مِائَةٍ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ فَنِيَ الزَّادُ فَأَمَرَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بِأَزْوَادِ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشِ فَجُمِعَ كُلُّهُ فَكَانَ مِزْوَدَ تَمْرٍ فَكَانَ يُقَوِّتُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قَلِيلًا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى فَنِيَ وَلَمْ يُصِبْنَا إِلَّا تَمْرَةً تَمْرَةً فَقُلْتُ وَمَا تُغْنِي تَمْرَةٌ قَالَ لَقَدْ وَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهَا حَيْثُ فَنِيَتْ قَالَ ثُمَّ انْتَهَى إِلَى الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا حُوتٌ مِثْلُ الظَّرِبِ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشُ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ أَمَرَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بِضِلْعَيْنِ مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِرَاحِلَةٍ فَرُحِّلَتْ ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ تَحْتَهُمَا وَلَمْ تُصِبْهُمَا»  

I and Khalid b. Walid went to the apartment of Maimuna along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and there was presented to him a roasted lizard. Messenger of Allah ﷺ stretched his hand towards It, whereupon some of the women who had been in the house of Maimuna said: Inform Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he intends to eat. Messenger of Allah ﷺ lifted his hand. I said: Messenger of Allah, Is it forbidden? He said: No. It is not found in the land of my people, and I feel that I have no liking for it. Khalid said: I then chewed and ate it, while, Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking (at me). (Using translation from Muslim 1945a)  

دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَخَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْتَ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ فَأُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ مَحْنُوذٍ فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ اللَّاتِي فِي بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ أَخْبِرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ» قَالَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ  

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3794)   

دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَخَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْتَ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ فَإِذَا بِضَبٍّ مَحْنُوذٍ فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَتِ النِّسْوَةُ اللَّاتِي فِي بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ أَخْبِرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ» قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ  

"The Messenger of Allah allowed us to eat the flesh of horses but he forbade the flesh of donkeys." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4328)

We slaughtered a horse and ate it during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Muslim 1942a)  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «نَحَرْنَا فَرَسًا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَكَلْنَاهُ»  

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3789)   

عَنْ جَابِرٍ «أَنَّهُمْ ذَبَحُوا يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ الْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ فَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْبِغَالِ وَالْحَمِيرِ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنِ الْخَيْلِ»  

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited eating of the flesh of domestic asses on the Day of Khaibar, and permitted the cooking of the flesh of horses. (Using translation from Muslim 1941a)   

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ وَأَذِنَ فِي لُحُومِ الْخَيْلِ»  

“Allah and His Messenger forbid you to eat the flesh of domesticated donkeys, for it is filthy.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3196)   

أَنَّ مُنَادِيَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَادَى «إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَنْهَيَانِكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ فَإِنَّهَا رِجْسٌ»  

[Machine] About Al-Bara' bin 'Azib, he said: they were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they got some camels so they slaughtered them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Prepare the pots."  

عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَصَابُوا حُمُرًا فَذَبَحُوهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَكْفِئُوا الْقُدُورَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited eating fanged beasts of prey. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3802)

"A man asked the Prophet ﷺ: 'O Messenger of Allah, we travel by sea and we take a little water with us, but if we use it for Wudu', we will go thirsty. Can we perform Wudu', with sea-water?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Its water is a means of purification and its dead meat is permissible.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 59)   

حَدَّثَنِي الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ مِنْ آلِ ابْنِ الْأَزْرَقِ أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنَ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَرْكَبُ الْبَحْرَ وَنَحْمِلُ مَعَنَا الْقَلِيلَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأْنَا بِهِ عَطِشْنَا أَفَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هُوَ الطَّهُورُ مَاؤُهُ الْحِلُّ مَيْتَتُهُ»  

Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) sent us (on an expedition). We were three hundred riders and our chief (leader) was 'Ubaida b. al-Jarrah. We were on the look out for a caravan of the Quraish. So we stayed on the coast for half a month, and were so much afflicted by extreme hunger that we (were obliged) to eat leaves. That is why it was called the Detachment of the Leaves. The ocean cast out for us an animal which was called al-'Anbar (whale). We ate of that for half of the month and rubbed its fat on our (bodies) until our bodies became stout. Abu 'Ubaida caught hold of one of its ribs and fixed that up. He then cast a glance at the tallest man of the army and the highest of the camels. and then made him ride over that, and that-tnan passed beneath it (the rib), and many a man could sit in its eye-socket, and we extracted many pitchers of fat from the cavity of its eye. We had small bags containing dates with us (before finding the whale). 'Ubaida gave every person amongst us a handful of dates (and when the provision ran short), he then gave each one of us one date. And when that (stock) was exhausted, we felt its loss. (Using translation from Muslim 1935b)   

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ثَلَاثِ مِائَةِ رَاكِبٍ وَأَمِيرُنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ نَرْصُدُ عِيرًا لِقُرَيْشٍ فَأَقَمْنَا بِالسَّاحِلِ نِصْفَ شَهْرٍ فَأَصَابَنَا جُوعٌ شَدِيدٌ حَتَّى أَكَلْنَا الْخَبَطَ قَالَ فَسُمِّيَ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشُ جَيْشَ الْخَبَطِ ثُمَّ أَلْقَى الْبَحْرُ دَابَّةً يُقَالُ لَهَا الْعَنْبَرُ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ نِصْفَ شَهْرٍ حَتَّى ثَابَتْ أَجْسَامُنَا وَادَّهَنَّا بِوَدَكِهِ فَأَخَذَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ ضِلَعًا مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ وَنَظَرَ إِلَى أَطْوَلِ جَمَلٍ فِي الْجَيْشِ وَأَطْوَلِ رَجُلٍ فَحَمَلَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَمَرَّ تَحْتَهُ «قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَالَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَعْطَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جِرَابًا فِيهِ تَمْرٌ فَلَمَّا نَفِدَ وَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَجِيءُ الرَّجُلُ بِالشَّيْءِ قَالَ وَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْ عَيْنَيْهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا حُبًّا مِنْ وَدَكٍ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَأَلَنَا » هَلْ مَعَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ «  

It is the flesh of the lizard. Thereupon Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) said: Eat, for it is lawful, but it is not my diet. (Using translation from Muslim 1944a)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ مَعَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِيهِمْ سَعْدٌ فَأُتِيَ بِلَحْمِ ضَبٍّ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كُلُوا فَإِنَّهُ حَلَالٌ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِي»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the eating of (the flesh) of the lizard, whereupon he said: I am neither the eater of it nor its prohibitor. (Using translation from Muslim 1943a)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الضَّبِّ فَقَالَ ﷺ «لَسْتُ بِآكِلِهِ وَلَا مُحَرِّمِهِ»  

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and descended onto a land abundant with fog while we were thirsty. We drank from it and the pots boiled with it. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is this?" We replied, "It is fog that we drank from." He said, "Indeed, a nation from the children of Israel was transformed and I fear that this might be it." So he commanded us to vomit, and surely we did, and we were hungry.  

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَزَلْنَا أَرْضًا كَثِيرَةَ الضِّبَابِ وَنَحْنُ مُرْمِلُونَ فَأَصَبْنَاهَا فَكَانَتِ الْقُدُورُ تَغْلِي بِهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا هَذَا؟ » فَقُلْنَا ضِبَابًا أَصَبْنَاهَا فَقَالَ «إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ وَأَنَا أَخْشَى أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ» فَأَمَرَنَا فَأَكْفَأْنَا وَإِنَّا لَجِيَاعٌ  

Ibn 'Umar reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the eating of the (flesh) of domestic asses on the Day of Khaibar in spite of the fact that people needed that. (Using translation from Muslim 561d)  

«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَكْلِ الْحِمَارِ الْأَهْلِيِّ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ وَكَانَ النَّاسُ احْتَاجُوا إِلَيْهَا»  

[Machine] We went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Khaibar, and a man from the people said, "O Amir, if you let us enjoy ourselves with your wealth, we will help you!" So he went down to them and mentioned Allah and recited a poem that I did not memorize. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who is this driver?" They said, "Amir ibn Al-Aqwaa." He said, "May Allah have mercy on him." Then a man from the people said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you let us enjoy ourselves with him." So when they attacked the people, they fought them and Amir was injured. When they returned in the evening, they lit a large fire. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What is this fire? What is it lit for?" They said, "For the Arab horses." He said, "Pour out whatever is in it and break it." Then a man said, "O Messenger of Allah, shouldn't we pour out what is in it and wash it?" He said, "Leave it as it is."  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَيْ عَامِرٌ لَوْ مَتَّعْتَنَا مِنْ هَنَاتِكَ فَنَزَلَ يَحْدُو لَهُمْ فَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ وَذَكَرَ شِعْرًا لَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ هَذَا السَّائِقُ؟ » قَالُوا عَامِرُ بْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ قَالَ «يَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ مَتَّعْتَنَا بِهِ فَلَمَّا أَصَابُوا الْقَوْمَ قَاتَلُوهُمْ وَأُصِيبَ عَامِرٌ فَلَمَّا أَمْسَوْا أَوْقَدُوا نَارًا كَثِيرًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا هَذِهِ النَّارُ؟ عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تُوقَدُ؟ » قَالُوا عَلَى الْحُمُرِ الْإِنْسِيَّةِ فَقَالَ «أَهْرِيقُوا مَا فِيهَا وَكَسِّرُوهَا» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا نُهَرِيقُ مَا فِيهَا وَنَغْسِلُهَا؟ فَقَالَ «فَذَاكَ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "When one of you comes to a camel shepherd, let them call out 'O camel shepherd!' three times. If he responds, then good. If not, then let them milk and drink without burdening him. And when one of you comes to a wall, let them call out 'O people of the wall!' three times. If they respond, then good. If not, then let them eat without burdening them." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also said, "Hospitality lasts for three days, and whatever exceeds that, it becomes charity."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى رَاعِي إِبِلٍ فَلْيُنَادِي يَا رَاعِيَ الْإِبِلِ ثَلَاثًا فَإِنْ أَجَابَهُ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَحْلِبْ وَلْيَشْرَبْ وَلَا يَحْمِلَنَّ وَإِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى حَائِطٍ فَلْيُنَادِ ثَلَاثًا يَا أَصْحَابَ الْحَائِطِ فَإِنْ أَجَابَهُ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَأْكُلْ وَلَا يَحْمِلَنَّ» قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَا زَادَ فَصَدَقَةٌ»  

None (of you) should milk the animal of another, but with his permission. Does any one of you like that his chamber be raided, and his vaults be broken, and his foodstuff be removed? Verily the treasures for them (those who keep animals) are the udders of the animals which feed them. So none of you should milk the animal of another but with his permission. (Using translation from Muslim 1726a)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَحْتَلِبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مَشْرَبَتُهُ فَتُكْسَرَ خِزَانَتُهُ فَيُنْتَثَلُ طَعَامُهُ إِنَّمَا ضُرُوعُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ وَأَطْعِمَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَحْتَلِبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ»  

[Machine] My family sent me with a container of milk to the Prophet ﷺ. I brought it to him and he instructed me to milk it. So, I milked it and the Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Leave the caller of the milk."  

بَعَثَنِي أَهْلِي بِلَقُوحٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْلُبَهَا فَحَلَبْتُهَا فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «دَعْ دَاعِيَ اللَّبَنِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Hospitality lasts for three days, and anything beyond that is considered as charity."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَا وَرَاءَهَا فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ»  

[Machine] That Abu Talhah saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pale, so he went to Umm Sulaym and said, "Do you have anything?" She said, "We only have some dough made from barley flour." He said, "Knead it and make it into bread, perhaps the Prophet ﷺ may come and eat with us." So she kneaded it and baked it, and out came a loaf. He said, "Invite the Prophet ﷺ for me." I came to the Prophet ﷺ and with him were some people. Mubarak bin Fadalah, who, I think, numbered about eighty-eight, said: "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Abu Talhah is inviting you.' He said to his companions, 'Go and answer Abu Talhah's invitation.' So I hurried until I told him that he had come, and his companions (also). Bakr said: 'He then followed me closely (perspiring so hard that) he was drenched.' Thabit said: 'Abu Talhah told the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "You know what I have in my house better than I do, and Anas said that they both said: 'Then he greeted him and Abu Talhah said: 'O Messenger of Allah we have nothing but a loaf of bread, and I saw you (pale) so I ordered Umm Sulaym to make that a loaf of bread.' He said: 'One bearing of a piece of fat or something?' Abu Talhah said: 'There is something in a container.' So he brought it and the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Talhah squeezed it until something came out. Then the Prophet ﷺ wiped with some of it with his index finger, then he wiped the loaf with it and it inflated and he said: "Bismillah (in the name of Allah). And he continued to do that and the loaf would inflate until I saw the loaf expanding in the container. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Invite ten of my Companions also.' So I invited ten of them and he put his hand in the middle of the loaf and said: 'Eat in the name of Allah.' So they ate from around the loaf until they were full. Then he said: 'Invite ten more.' He kept inviting ten more until about eighty or ninety ate from that loaf until they were full. Then in the middle where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ put his hand, it remained as it was."  

أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَاوِيًا فَأَتَى أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَقَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ؟ فَقَالَتْ مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلَّا نَحْوُ مُدٍّ مِنْ دَقِيقِ شَعِيرٍ قَالَ فَاعْجِنِيهِ وَأَصْلِحِيهِ عَسَى أَنْ نَدْعُوَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَيَأْكُلَ عِنْدَنَا قَالَ فَعَجَنَتْهُ وَخَبَزَتْهُ فَجَاءَ قُرْصًا فَقَالَ ادْعُ لِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ نَاسٌ قَالَ مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ أَحْسِبُهُ بَضْعَةً وَثَمَانِينَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَدْعُوكَ فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ «أَجِيبُوا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ» فَجِئْتُ مُسْرِعًا حَتَّى أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ قَالَ بَكْرٌ فَقَفَدَنِي قَفْدًا وَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي بَيْتِي مِنِّي وَقَالَا جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَنَسٍ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا عِنْدَنَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا قُرْصٌ رَأَيْتُكَ طَاوِيًا فَأَمَرْتُ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَجَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ قُرْصًا قَالَ فَدَعَا بِالْقُرْصِ وَدَعَا بِجَفْنَةٍ فَوَضَعَهُ فِيهَا وَقَالَ «هَلْ مِنْ سَمْنٍ؟ » قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَكَانَ فِي الْعُكَّةِ شَيْءٌ فَجَاءَ بِهَا فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَعْصِرَانِهَا حَتَّى خَرَجَ شَيْءٌ فَمَسَحَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِهِ سَبَّابَتَهُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ الْقُرْصَ فَانْتَفَخَ وَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَانْتَفَخَ الْقُرْصُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ وَالْقُرْصُ يَنْتَفِخُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الْقُرْصَ فِي الْجَفْنَةِ يَتَمَيَّعُ فَقَالَ «ادْعُ عَشْرَةً مِنْ أَصْحَابِي» فَدَعَوْتُ لَهُ عَشْرَةً قَالَ فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ فِي وَسَطِ الْقُرْصِ وَقَالَ «كُلُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَأَكَلُوا حَوَالَيِ الْقُرْصِ حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ «ادْعُ لِي عَشْرَةً» فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَدْعُو عَشْرَةً عَشْرَةً يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْقُرْصِ حَتَّى أَكَلَ مِنْهُ بَضْعَةٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ حَوَالَيِ الْقُرْصِ حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَإِنَّ وَسَطَ الْقُرْصِ حَيْثُ وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ كَمَا هُوَ  

I am hard pressed by hunger. He sent (message) to one of his wives (to procure food for him). but she said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth, thrre is nothing with me (to serve him) but only water. He (the Holy Prophet) then sent the (same) message to another, and she gave the same reply, until all of them gave the same reply: By Him Who has sent thee with the Truth, there is nothing with me but only water, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah would show mercy to him who will entertain this guest tonight. A person from the Ansar stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, I (am ready to entertain). He took him to his house and said to his wife: Is there anything with you (to serve the gdest)? She said: No, but only a subsistence for our children. He said: Distract their attention with something, and when the guest enters extinguish the lamp and give him the impression that we are eating. So they sat down. and the guest had his meal. When it was morning he went to Allah's Apostle ﷺ who said: Allah was well pleased with what you both did for your guest this night. (Using translation from Muslim 2054a)  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي مَجْهُودٌ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَقَالَتْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيًّا مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا مَاءٌ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أُخْرَى فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى قُلْنَ كُلُّهُنَّ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «مَنْ يُضِيفُ هَذَا اللَّيْلَةَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ إِلَى رَحْلِهِ فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ هَلْ عِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَتْ لَا إِلَّا قُوتُ صِبْيَانِي قَالَ فَعَلِّلِيهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ ضَيْفُنَا فَأَضِيئِي * السِّرَاجَ وَأَرِيهِ أَنَّا نَأْكُلُ فَإِذَا أَهْوَى لِيَأْكُلَ قَوْمِي إِلَى السِّرَاجِ حَتَّى تُطْفِئِيهِ قَالَ فَقَعَدُوا وَأَكَلَ الضَّيْفُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ غَدَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ عَجِبَ اللَّهُ مِنْ صَنِيعِكُمَا اللَّيْلَةَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his neighbor. And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or keep silent. And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his guest; his reward is a day and a night of hosting, and hospitality is for three days. Anything after that is considered charity, and it is not permissible for him to stay with him until he causes him discomfort."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ جَارَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتَ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ جَائِزَتُهُ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ وَالضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَثْوِيَ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يُحْرِجَهُ»  

"We said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: ' You send us and we stay with people who do not show us any hospitality. WHat do you think of that?' The MEssenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If you stay with people and they give you what a guest deserves, then accept it. If they do not do that , then take from them what they should have offered, which a guest is entitled to.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3676)   

عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَنْزِلُ بِقَوْمٍ لَا يُضَيِّفُونَا فَكَيْفَ تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ نَزَلْتُمْ بِقَوْمٍ فَأَمَرُوا لَكُمْ بِمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلضَّيْفِ فَاقْبَلُوا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا فَخُذُوا مِنْهُمْ حَقَّ الضَّيْفِ الَّذِي يَنْبَغِي لَهُ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "If I were given a gift of a sheep, I would accept it, and if I were invited to a meal, I would attend."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ أُهْدِيَ إِلَيَّ كُرَاعٌ لَقَبِلْتُهُ وَلَوْ دُعِيتُ إِلَيْهِ لَأَجَبْتُهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If I were invited to a mountain, I would respond, and if I were given a gift, I would accept it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ دُعِيتُ إِلَى كُرَاعٍ لَأَجَبْتُ وَلَوْ أُهْدِيَ إِلَيَّ لَقَبِلْتُ»  

[Machine] "A tailor in the city invited the Messenger of Allahﷺ for a meal of barley bread and a stew with small pieces of meat in it. The stew had some pumpkins in it. Anas narrated, 'I used to see the Prophetﷺ liking the pumpkin, so I would bring it before him. The pumpkin always pleased me since I saw that it pleased him, peace be upon him.'"  

«أَنَّ خَيَّاطًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ دَعَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى خُبْزِ شَعِيرٍ وَإِهَالَةٍ سَنِخَةٍ وَكَانَ فِيهَا قَرْعٌ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَكُنْتُ أَرَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ الْقَرْعُ قَالَ فَكُنْتُ أُقَدِّمُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلِ الْقَرْعُ يُعْجِبُنِي مُنْذُ رَأَيْتُهُ يُعْجِبُهُ ﷺ»  

when one of you is invited for a wedding feast, he must attend it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3736)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْوَلِيمَةِ فَلْيَأْتِهَا»  

[Machine] "Some of my companions prepared food for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'I would love for you to eat in my house and pray in it.'" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, and there was a piece of chicken in the house, so he ordered a side of it to be cleaned, then he sprinkled it with water, and he prayed and we prayed with him.  

«صَنَعَ بَعْضُ عُمُومَتِي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَعَامًا وَقَالَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ فِي بَيْتِي وَتُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِذَا فِي الْبَيْتِ فَحْلٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْفُحُولِ فَأَمَرَ بِجَانِبٍ مِنْهُ فَكُنِسَ ثُمَّ رُشَّ فَصَلَّى وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ broke his fast with Sa’d bin Mu’adh and said: ‘Aftara ‘indakumus-saimun, wa akala ta’amakumul-abrar, wa sallat ‘alaikumul- mala’ikah (May fasting people break their fast with you, may the righteous eat your food, and may the angels send blessing upon you).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1747)  

أَفْطَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ سَعْدٍ فَقَالَ «أَفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمُ الصَّائِمُونَ وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الْأَبْرَارُ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to my father and he was a guest with him. He offered food to him and brought hais. He then brought a drink which he drank and he gave it to the one on his right. He ate dried dates and began to put the kernels on the back of his ring finger and middle finger. When he got up, my father also got up, and held the rein of his mount. He said : Pray to Allah for me. He said : O Allah, bless them in what you provided them, and have mercy on them. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3729)   

جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَبِي فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَتَاهُ بِطَعَامٍ وَحَيْسٍ وَسَوِيقٍ وَتَمْرٍ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ بِشَرَابٍ فَنَاوَلَ مَنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ التَّمْرَ وَيَضَعُ النَّوَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ أُصْبُعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوسْطَى ثُمَّ يَرْمِي بِهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا لَهُمْ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِيمَا رَزَقْتَهُمْ وَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Abu who was riding a white mule. The Messenger took hold of its reins and said, "Get off with me, O Messenger of Allah." So he dismounted and said, "Bring them some hay." They brought hay and they ate it. Then they brought dates. The Prophet ﷺ started eating and saying, "Like this" while turning it over and putting one end of it between his fingers. Then they brought him a drink and he drank from it. Then he passed it on to the one on his right. Then he said, "O Allah, bless them in what You have provided for them, forgive them, and have mercy on them."  

مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَبِي وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَأَخَذَ بِلِجَامِهَا فَقَالَ انْزِلْ عِنْدِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَنَزَلَ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ فَجَاءَهُمْ بِحَيْسٍ فَأَكَلُوهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُمْ بِتَمْرٍ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ وَيَقُولُ بِالنَّوَى هَكَذَا وَيُقَلِّبُهُ وَضَمَّ شُعْبَةُ أُصْبُعَيْهِ ثُمَّ جَاءُوهُ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَ الَّذِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِيمَا رَزَقْتَهُمْ وَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ»  

[Machine] My father said to my mother, "If you prepare food for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , make tharid and place it in his hand like this to make it smaller." So my father went and called the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ placed his hand on the edge of the tharid and said, "Take in the name of Allah." They took from different sides of it, and when they tasted it, the Prophet ﷺ supplicated for them, saying, "O Allah, forgive them, have mercy on them, and bless their provision."  

أَبِي لِأُمِّي لَوْ صَنَعْتِ طَعَامًا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَنَعَتْ ثَرِيدَةً وَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا يُقَلِّلُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ أَبِي فَدَعَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ عَلَى ذِرْوَتِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «خُذُوا بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَأَخَذُوا مِنْ نَوَاحِيهَا فَلَمَّا طَعِمُوا دَعَا لَهُمْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ وَبَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي رِزْقِهِمْ»  

0 ye, prepare for us food sufficient for five persons, for I intend to invite Allah's Apostle ﷺ who would be the fifth amongst the five. He (the narrator) reported that he then prepared the food and came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and invited all the five (including him) who was the fifth amongst them to the feast. A man followed him and when Allah's Apostle ﷺ reached the door, he said: This man has followed us; if you like you may permit him (to join the meal) and if you like he can go back. Thereupon the person said: Messenger of Allah, I permit him. (Using translation from Muslim 2036a)  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ فَرَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَرَفَ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْجُوعَ فَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ اصْنَعْ لَنَا طَعَامًا لِخَمْسَةٍ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ قَالَ فَصَنَعَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ وَتَبِعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْبَابَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذَا تَبِعَنَا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ» وَإِنْ شِئْتَ رَجَعَ «قَالَ بَلْ آذَنُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ  

[Machine] A Persian man was a neighbor of the Prophet ﷺ , and his cooking smelled the most fragrant. He made food and then came to the Prophet ﷺ . He motioned to him to come in, along with Aisha, to his side. The Prophet ﷺ said, "And she is with me," and pointed to Aisha. He said no. He then motioned to him again, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "And she is with me," and pointed to Aisha. He said no. He motioned to him for the third time, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "And she is with me," and pointed to Aisha. He said yes.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا فَارِسِيًّا كَانَ جَارًا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَكَانَتْ مَرَقَتُهُ أَطْيَبَ شَيْءٍ رِيحًا فَصَنَعَ طَعَامًا ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ تَعَالَ وَعَائِشَةُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «وَهَذِهِ مَعِي» وَأَشَارَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ لَا قَالَ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «وَهَذِهِ مَعِي» قَالَ لَا ثُمَّ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ «وَهَذِهِ مَعِي» وَأَشَارَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] A man made food and sent it to the Prophet ﷺ . He said, "Come to me along with five others." He said, "Can I bring a sixth person with me?"  

صَنَعَ رَجُلٌ طَعَامًا فَبَعَثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ ائْتِنِي أَنْتَ وَخَمْسَةٌ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ «أَتَأْذَنُ لِي فِي سَادِسٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When someone invites you, respond to the invitation. If you wish, you may attend, and if you wish, you may decline."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُجِبْ فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَكَلَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ»  

The worst kind of food is that at a wedding feast to which the rich are invited and from which the poor are left out. If anyone does not attend the feast to which he was invited, he has disobeyed Allah and His Apostle (may peace upon him). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3742)   

«شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»  

“The worst of food is food of a wedding feast to which the rich are invited and the poor are not. Whoever does not accept an invitation has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.' ” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1913)  

«شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْفُقَرَاءُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»  

Accept the feast, when you are invited. (Using translation from Muslim 1429d)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِيتُوا الدَّعْوَةَ إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ»  

[Machine] When he was invited, he would go to the inviter. If he was fasting, he would pray for blessings and then depart. But if he had broken his fast, he would sit and eat. Nafi said: Ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you are invited to a meal, respond to the invitation."  

كَانَ إِذَا دُعِيَ ذَهَبَ إِلَى الدَّاعِي فَإِنْ كَانَ صَائِمًا دَعَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُفْطِرًا جَلَسَ فَأَكَلَ قَالَ نَافِعٌ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ إِلَى كُرَاعٍ فَأَجِيبُوا»
