Prohibition of Criticizing Food

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) never found fault with food. If he had inclination to eating it, he would eat; and if he disliked it, he would leave it.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
This Hadith throws light on the Prophet's excellent manners which ought to be followed by all Muslims. It is a deplorable state of affairs that when we find a dish a bit unsavoury, we lose our temper and create quite a scene in the house. May we follow the excellent example of our Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)!
