Hadith 4090

Volume 3

English

Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade combining two dates unless one seeks permission from his companions. [Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim] The reason was their hardship in living conditions. This was later abrogated when ease came, as narrated by al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani in “Al-Awsat” from Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I forbade you from combining dates, 1 but Allah has provided ease for you, so combine them.” However, good manners generally require restraint in eating and avoiding greed unless one is in haste.

Note 1

Forbade combining two dates, etc.

(1) The statement: “Forbade combining two dates, etc.”: Some scholars said this applies when hosted by someone. If they mix their food and eat together, is it permissible? The Imams said: It is permissible, but one should not intentionally take a larger morsel than another’s. If one eats more unintentionally, it is allowed, per “Al-Mirqat.” In “Al-Alamgiriyyah,” if travelers mix their provisions or each contributes a dirham based on their number, buy food, and eat, it is permissible even if their portions differ, per “Al-Wajiz” by al-Kurdari.

Volume 3

Yusuf ibn Abdullah ibn Salam (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) take a piece of barley bread, place a date on it, and say: “This is the condiment of this.” 1 [Narrated by Abu Dawud] Taj al-Shari’ah said: The statement “condiment of this” in this hadith is among the terms of Shariah, and oaths do not apply to it.

Note 1

This is the condiment of this, etc.

(1) The statement: “This is the condiment of this, etc.”: Idam is what is eaten with bread, dissolving in the mouth, like vinegar, oil, or salt, not meat, eggs, cheese, or dates, per Abu Hanifah and Abu Yusuf. Muhammad said: Whatever is typically eaten with bread is idam, a view also held by Abu Yusuf in another narration, al-Shafi’i, and Ahmad, and this is the fatwa, per “Al-Bahr” citing “Al-Tahdhib.” Al-Faqih Abu al-Layth adopted this, and in “Al-Ikhtiyar,” it is the preferred view based on custom. In “Al-Muhit,” it is the more apparent view. For al-Shafi’i, dates have two views: one considers them idam due to this hadith, and another does not, as they are fruit like raisins. Muhammad said dates and walnuts are not idam, nor are grapes, melons, or vegetables, or other fruits, unless in a place where they are eaten with bread per custom, making them idam. Thus, Taj al-Shari’ah said the Prophet’s statement is a Shariah term, and oaths do not apply to it, per “Al-Durr al-Mukhtar,” “Radd al-Muhtar,” “Fath al-Qadir,” and “Al-Binayah.” In “Al-Mirqat,” Mirak said: This hadith supports those, like al-Shafi’i, who consider dates idam, and refutes those requiring idam to dissolve or excluding dates as typically eaten alone. It may be that idam is used metaphorically or by analogy since eaten with bread. I say: This interpretation is necessary, otherwise, the statement would be redundant. Oaths and their violation depend on time and place. The hadith hints at dietary balance, as barley is cold and dry, dates are hot and moist, and it reflects contentment and satisfaction, per “Al-Mirqat.”

And removing worms from them

A tailor invited the Prophet (ﷺ) for a meal, etc.

(2) The statement: “A tailor invited the Prophet (ﷺ) for a meal, etc.”: This hadith shows the permissibility of a noble person eating the food of someone of lower status, such as a craftsman, accepting their invitation, eating with a servant, and the Prophet’s humility and kindness to his companions. It also indicates the Sunnah of liking pumpkin and anything the Prophet (ﷺ) liked. The tailor’s profession is not lowly. In “Sharh al-Sunnah,” it is permissible to reach for food not directly in front if it is varied and the host does not dislike it, per “Al-Mirqat.”

Volume 3

English

Mughirah ibn Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I ate with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one night. He ordered a side of meat to be roasted, then took a knife and began cutting pieces for me. Bilal came to call him for prayer. He threw down the knife and said: “What is with him, may his hands be dusty!” His mustache was full, so he said to me: “Shall I trim it for you with a stick, or trim it with a stick?” [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi] In Bukhari’s narration from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Let your beards grow and trim your mustaches.” Al-Tahawi said: Al-Murni and al-Rabi’ used to trim fully, which aligns with Abu Hanifah and his companions’ view that trimming the mustache fully is better than shortening it. The hadith of Mughirah does not prove anything, as the Prophet (ﷺ) may have done so without scissors present for trimming the mustache.
