Jabir bin 'Abdullah reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) asked his family for condiment. They (the members of his household) said: We have nothing with us but vinegar. He asked for it, he began to eat it, and then said: Vinegar is a good condiment, vinegar is a good condiment.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) took hold of my hand one day (and led me) to his residence. There was presented to him some pieces of bread, whereupon he said: Is there no condiment? They (the members of his household) said: No, except some vinegar. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Vinegar is a good condiment. Jabir said: I have always loved vinegar since I heard it trom Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . Talha said: I have always loved vinegar since I heard about it from Jabir.

This hadith is reported on the authority of Jabir bin 'Abdullah that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) took hold of his hand and led him to his residence as narrated above up to the words: "Vinegar is a good condiment." But in the hadith transmitted through this chain of transmitters, there is no mention of the subsequent part.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah reported: While I was sitting in my house there happened to pass by me Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He made a gesture to me and I stood up for him. He took hold of my hand until we came to one of the apartments of his wives. He entered and then asked me to get in. So I entered and there was hanging a curtain beside her. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Is there any food (with you)? They (the members of the household) said: Yes. And then there were brought three loaves of bread for him (the Holy Prophet) and placed in the basket of palm leaves. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) picked up one loaf and placed that before him, and then picked up another one and placed it before me. He then picked up the third one and broke it into two parts, and kept the one-half before him and the other half before me, and then said: Is there any condiment? They (the members of the household) said: There is nothing (in the form of condiment) but some vinegar only. He said: Bring that, for vinegar is a good condiment.
