Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was with one of the Mothers of the Believers, when another of his wives sent a bowl of food. The first wife (out of anger) struck the hand of the one bringing the food, causing the bowl to fall and break. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) picked up the two pieces of the vessel, joined one to the other, and began gathering the food in it, saying: "Your mother has become jealous (because food was sent to my house)." He said: "Eat the food." The people ate, and then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept the messenger back until the wife in whose house he was brought her own bowl. Then he gave this intact bowl to the messenger and left the broken bowl in the house of the wife who had broken it.
