While I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) he said to a man who was with him, “I do not take my meals while
leaning.”

“A roasted mastigure was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) who stretched his hand towards it to eat it. But it was
said to him, “It is a mastigure.” So he withdrew his hand. Khalid asked, “Is it unlawful to eat?” the
Prophet said, “No, but it is not found in the land of my people and that is why I do not like eating it.”
So Khalid started eating (it) while Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was looking at him. An-Nadr said: ‘Al-Khazira’ (is
prepared) from bran while ‘Al-Harira’ is prepared from milk.

Abu Nahik was avaricious eater. Ibn `Umar said to him, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “A Kafir (unbeliever)
eats in seven intestines (eats much).” On that Abu Nahik said, “But I believe in Allah and His Apostle
.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “A Muslim eats in one intestine (i.e. he is satisfied with a little food) while a
Kafir (unbeliever) eats in seven intestines (eats much).

A man used to eat much, but when he embraced Islam, he started eating less. That was mentioned to
the Prophet (ﷺ) who then said, “A believer eats in one intestine (is satisfied with a little food) and a Kafir
eats in seven intestines (eats much). ”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The food for two persons is sufficient for three, and the food of three persons is
sufficient for four persons.”

Ibn `Umar never used to take his meal unless a poor man was called to eat with him. One day I
brought a poor man to eat with him, the man ate too much, whereupon Ibn `Umar said, “O Nafi`!
Don’t let this man enter my house, for I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “A believer eats in one intestine (is
satisfied with a little food), and a kafir (unbeliever) eats in seven intestines (eats much food).

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “A believer eats in one intestine (is satisfied with a little food), and a kafir
(unbeliever) or a hypocrite eats in seven intestines (eats too much).

that his aunt, Um Hufaid bint Al-Harith bin Hazn, presented to the Prophet (ﷺ) butter, dried yoghurt and
mastigures. The Prophet (ﷺ) invited the people to those mastigures and they were eaten on his dining
sheet, but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not eat of it, as if he disliked it. Nevertheless. if it was unlawful to eat that,
the people would not have eaten it on the dining sheet of the Prophet (ﷺ) nor would he have ordered that
they be eaten.

that while they were with the Prophet (ﷺ) at As-Sahba’ which was at a distance of one day’s journey from
Khaibar the prayer became due, and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked the people for food but there was nothing with
the people except Sawiq. He ate of it and we ate along with him, and then he asked for water and
rinsed his mouth (with it), and then offered the (Maghrib) prayer and we too offered the prayer but the
Prophet did not perform ablution (again after eating the Sawiq.).
