It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the pledge of allegiance from the women, a dignified woman who appeared to be from the tribe of Mudar stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! We are dependent on our fathers, our sons and our husbands (that is, we are under their care), so what is lawful for us from their wealth? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fresh food (or fruit), which you may eat yourselves and give to others as gifts."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman said: "O Messenger of Allah! We are dependent on our fathers and brothers, so what is lawful for us to take from their wealth?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fresh things which you eat and give as gifts." This narration of Abd al-Salam bin Harb is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty admits three people into Paradise because of a morsel of bread, a handful of dates and anything like it which benefits a poor person: the one who orders it (the charity), the wife who manages well and wishes good (who looks after the household), and the servant who hands the thing to the poor person."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he sent some vegetables to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in which there was onion or leek (a vegetable resembling garlic).

He said: "I did not find the trace of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)'s eating in it." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I feel shy before the angels of Allah (who come to me with revelation), while it (eating onion and the like) is not forbidden." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

Imam al-Hakim says: From the beginning of this book up to here, I had not narrated a single word from Ali bin Zayd bin Jud'an al-Qurashi, and I did not know of any hadith other than this about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) eating ginger, so I have recorded it.

This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it, and its supporting narration (shahid) exists with narrators who are more authentic and better known than those of this one.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the dining cloth was lifted from before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) would supplicate: 'Al-hamdu lillahi hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fihi, ghayra muwadda'in wa la mustaghnan 'anhu, rabbana' (All praise is for Allah, praise that is abundant, pure and blessed, which can neither be bidden farewell nor ever be done without, O our Lord!).
