قال الإمامُ مسلمٌ في صحيحِهِ، في كتابِ الأَشْرِبَةِ، بابٌ لا يَعِيبُ الطَّعامَ:
Imām Muslim collected the following ḥadīth in his Ṣaḥīḥ, in the Book of Drinks, under the chapter entitled: (The Believer) Does Not Criticize Food, ḥadīth number 2064:
حدَّثنا يحيى بنُ يحيى، وزُهَيْرُ بنُ حَرْبٍ، وإسحاقُ بنُ إبراهيمَ — قال زُهَيْرٌ: حدَّثنا، وقال الآخرانِ: — أخبرنا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأعمشِ، عن أبي حازمٍ، عن أبي هُرَيْرَةَ، قال: ما عاب رسولُ اللهِ — صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم — طعامًا قطُّ، كان إذا اشتهى شيئًا أكله، وإنْ كَرِهَهُ تركه
Abū Hurayrah said, “The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) never criticized food ever. If he wanted something, he would eat it. If he disliked it, he would leave it.”
وفي رِوَايَةٍ: ما رأيتُ رسولَ الله — صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم — عاب طعامًا قَطُّ، كان إذا اشتهاه أَكَلَهُ، وإنْ لَمْ يَشْتَهِهِ سَكَتَ
In another narration he said, “I never saw the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) criticize food ever. If he wanted it, he would eat it. If he did not want it, he would remain silent.”
