HIS FOOD AND DRINKHe did not partake from alms and charity; but he would partake fromgifts and recompense those who gave him gifts.His food was neither sumptuous nor extravagant.Sometimes, he would tie stones upon his belly, to suppress hunger. 87Allāh táālā bestowed upon him the keys of all the treasures of the earth;but he did not accept them, and chose the hereafter instead.He would eat bread with vinegar and he has said: “What a splendidsauce is vinegar!”RasūlAllāh has eaten the flesh of chicken and houbara. 88He savoured calabash 89 and shoulder meat. 90He would use [olive] oil in food; and oil his hair; and he has said: “Use[olive] oil for food and oil your hair; as it comes from a blessed tree.”He would eat with three fingers and would lick them [afterward]. 91He has eaten [Arabic] bread 92 made of barley together with dates; andwatermelon with fresh dates; cucumber with fresh dates; and dates withcream; he loved sweets and honey.He would always drink seated; sometimes he would drink standingup; and he would drink in three draughts, and each time parting the glassfrom his lips.87This was out of contentment and to teach his followers patience and contentment.88A bustard found in Arabia.89Bottle gourd; dubbā’a or qará in Arabic.90Of lamb.91Out of modesty and to indicate that it was opposed to vainglory.92Pita bread, khubz.23
He always started from the right side, when he passed [the chalice of]milk to drink; or when he drank it himself. 93RasūlAllāh said: When one partakes from the food Allāh táālā has given,he should say: “O Allāh! Make our food blessed and give us even betterfood.” 94 And when Allāh táālā gives him milk, he should say: “O Allāh! Makeour drink blessed and increase it for us.” 95He has said: “Nothing can compensate for both food and drink exceptmilk”.93That is, when he drank, he drank with his right hand; and when he passed the bowl,he did so from the right side.94allāhumma bārik lanā fīhi wa aţýimnā khayran minhu95allāhumma bārik lanā fīhi wa zidnā minhu24
