It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was very fond of "thufl". Abu Muhammad said: I heard Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Ishaq say: "Thufl" means tharid (bread soaked in broth).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that of all foods, the most beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was "tharid" (bread soaked in broth). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. Indeed, the narrator named Umar bin Sa'id is the brother of Sufyan and al-Mubarak, the sons of Sa'id. As for the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The superiority of Aishah over women is like the superiority of tharid over all other food," it is recorded in the two Sahihs.
