Abdullah bin Qariz says: I passed by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was performing ablution. He said to me: Do you know why I am performing ablution? Because of eating pieces of cheese, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Perform ablution after eating anything that has been cooked over fire.

Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated a similar hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Perform ablution after eating anything whose color has been changed by fire.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) ate a piece of cheese, performed ablution from it, and offered prayer.

Sayyiduna Muawiyah’s (ra) servant Qasim says: I entered the mosque of Damascus and saw that people were gathered and an elder was narrating hadiths to them. I asked: Who is this elder? They said: This is Sayyiduna Suhail bin Hanzaliyah (ra). Then I heard him narrating this hadith: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever eats meat should perform ablution.
