He said: "Umm Hufaid gave some cooking fat, cottage cheese, and mastigures to the Messenger of Allah and the ate some of the cooking fat and cottage cheese, but he did not eat the mastigures because he found them distasteful. If they were Haram they would not have been eaten at the table-spread of the Messenger of Allah and the would not have told others to eat them." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4319)
أَهْدَتْ أُمُّ حُفَيْدٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «سَمْنًا وَأَقِطًا وَأَضُبًّا فَأَكَلَ مِنَ السَّمْنِ وَالْأَقِطِ وَتَرَكَ الضِّبَابَ تَقَذُّرًا لَهُنَّ وَلَوْ كَانَ حَرَامًا مَا أُكِلَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا أَمَرَ بِأَكْلِهِنَّ»
