It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was with one of his wives (most likely Hazrat Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her). Another wife sent a bowl containing some food to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) through her servant. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) struck the servant's hand, causing the bowl to fall and break into two pieces. Upon seeing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Your mother has ruined it." Then he took both pieces of the bowl, joined them together, gathered the food in it, and said, "Eat from it." He kept the servant there until they had finished. After that, he gave the servant another bowl and left the broken bowl in that house.
