Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: I and Khalid bin Walid went to our maternal aunt Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). She said: O Messenger of Allah! My brother, who lives in the desert, has presented a gift; should I feed it to you? Then she hung two roasted lizards on a bunch of dates and presented them. But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not among the foods of my people, and I feel aversion to it." Then Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas and Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with them) ate them, but Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The food which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) does not eat, I also do not eat. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for a drink. A bowl of milk was presented, and he drank it. On his right side was Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and on his left side was Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): "Will you permit me to give it to Khalid?" Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I will not give preference to anyone over myself regarding the leftover of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Thus Ibn Abbas

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Umm Sunbalah came to me with a gift of milk for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but he was not present with me. I told her that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had prohibited the food of the Bedouins. Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Umm Sunbalah! What is this with you?" She said: O Messenger of Allah! It is milk; I have brought it as a gift for you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Umm Sunbalah! (Pour it in a bowl) and give it to Abu Bakr." Then he said: "Umm Sunbalah! (Again, pour it in a bowl) and give it to Aisha." Then he said: "Umm Sunbalah! Pour more." This time she handed it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he drank it. I (Aisha) said: Alas! My heart is at ease. O Messenger of Allah! Did you not prohibit the food of the Bedouin people? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Aisha! These (the people of Umm Sunbalah) are not Bedouins; they are our villagers, and we are the people of their city or town, so they are not Bedouins."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The food of one person suffices for two, the food of two suffices for three, and the food of four suffices for five or six people."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a large bowl, which was called "Gharaa", and four men would lift it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: A goat was given to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as a gift, and that day the amount of food was little. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his family: "Cook this goat, check the flour, make its bread, then cook them and make tharid (a dish of bread and meat)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a large bowl called "gharra’" (a tub-like vessel), which four men could lift. When morning came and the companions had performed the Duha prayer, that same bowl was brought. People gathered (to eat), and when the number of eaters increased, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sat on his knees. A Bedouin said: What kind of sitting is this? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has made me a humble, honored servant, not a tyrant or arrogant." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat from the edges of the bowl, not from the top (i.e., the middle), in this way there will be blessing for you." Then he said: "Take and eat, by the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the lands of Persia and Rome will surely be conquered for you, and there will be such abundance of food that the name of Allah will not be mentioned (over it)."

Aliyah bint Sabi’ says: I had some goats at the place of Uhud, and they began to die. I went to the wife of the Messenger, Lady Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), and mentioned the situation. She said: If you benefit from their skins (it is permissible). I asked: Will it be lawful for me to do so? She said: Yes. Some people were dragging their (dead) goat like a donkey past the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them:“If only you had taken its skin.”They said: It is dead. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Water and the leaves of the qaradh tree will purify it.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two dead animals and two types of blood have been made lawful for us. The two dead animals are fish and locusts, and the two types of blood are the liver and the spleen."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When you offer a sacrifice, then eat some of the meat of your sacrifice."
