the Prophet said: “This food is good.”
He ate bread made of unsieved barley and cucumbers with dates and with salt.
His favorite fresh fruit were the melon and grapes. He ate the melon with bread
and sugar; he often ate it with dates, using his two hands. One day, while he was
eating the dates in his right hand and storing the date stones in his left hand, an
ewe passed. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, showed her the date
stones, and the ewe began eating out of his left hand while he ate with his right
hand. When he finished eating, the ewe left.
He frequently ate grapes by putting the brunch in his mouth and drawing forth its
stalk bare; (in doing this) the foam on his beard appeared as shining beads. His
most frequent food consisted of water and dates. He mixed milk and dates and
called them “the two best.”
His favorite food was meat, of, which he said: “It is beyond fame; it is the lord of
food in this world and in the next; and if I were to ask Allah to feed it to me
