51:28 - (When they did not eat) He conceived a fear of them. They said "Fear not" and they gave
him glad tidings of a son endowed with knowledge.
77:43 - "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness)." 5885
5885 The fruits of righteousness are contentment in this life and the supreme Bliss in the next. (77.43)
77:46 - (O ye Unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while for that ye are Sinners. 5886
5886 "Eat" is symbolical of having the good things of life in this world. It may be that they are only given for a trial. Because
their minds and wishes run to wrong things, the opportunities for wrong are multiplied, as the impetus for good or for
evil increases progressively. They are asked to believe and repent. But if they do not, they are to be pitied, even for
the good things of this life, for they will come to an evil End in the Hereafter. (77.46)
Al-Muwatta Hadith
Hadith 25.19
Eating Carrion when Forced to, out of Necessity
Yahya related to me from Malik that the best of what he had heard about a man who is forced by necessity to eat carrion is
that he ate it until he was full and then he took provision from it. If he found something which would enable him to dispense
with it, he threw it away.
Malik when asked whether or not a man who had been forced by necessity to eat carrion, should eat it when he also found
the fruit, crops or sheep of a people in that place, answered, "If he thinks that the owners of the fruit, crops, or sheep will
believe his necessity so that he will not be deemed a thief and have his hand cut off, then I think that he should eat from
whatever he finds that which will remove his hunger but he should not carry any of it away. I prefer that he does that than that
he eat carrion. If he fears that he will not be believed, and will be deemed a thief for what he has taken, then I think that it is
better for him to eat the carrion, and he has leeway to eat carrion in this respect. Even so, I fear that someone who is not
forced by necessity to eat carrion might exceed the limits out of a desire to consume other peoples' property, crops or fruit."
Malik said, "That is the best of what I have heard."
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 3744 Narrated by
Abdullah Ibn Abbas
When the verse: "O ye who believe! eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities, but let there be amongst you
traffic and trade by mutual good will" was revealed, a man thought it a sin to eat in the house of another man after the
revelation of this verse. Then this (injunction) was revealed by the verse in Surat an-Nur: "No blame on you whether you eat
in company or separately." When a rich man (after revelation) invited a man from his people to eat food in his house, he
would say: I consider it a sin to eat from it, and he said: a poor man is more entitled to it than I. The Arabic word tajannah
means sin or fault. It was then declared lawful to eat something on which the name of Allah was mentioned, and it was made
lawful to eat the flesh of an animal slaughtered by the people of the Book.
Fiqh-us-Sunnah
Fiqh 2.147b
Eating on the two 'ids
One is to eat before going to the salah for 'idul fitr, (the end of Ramadan) but not do so on the occasion of the 'idul adha
(commemmorating Prophet Ibrahim's sacrifice). For 'idul fitr, it is a sunnah to eat an odd number of dates before going to
pray salatul 'id while for 'idul adha the eating should be delayed until one returns from the 'id prayers and then he may eat of
his sacrifice if he has sacrificed an animal.
Anas reports: "The Prophet would not go out on the festival of breaking the fast until he had eaten an odd number of dates."
This is related by Ahmad and al-Bukhari.
Buraidah reports: "The Prophet would not go out on the day of breaking the fast ('idul fitr) until he had eaten and on the day of
sacrifice ('idul adha) he would not eat until he had returned [from salah]." This is related by at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah, and
also by Ahmad who added: "And he would eat from his sacrifice."
In al-Muwatta' it is recorded from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab that the people were ordered to eat before they go out on the day of
breaking the fast.
Ibn-Qudamah said: "I do not know of any difference of opinion over the fact that one should hasten in eating [eat early] on the
day of breaking of the fast."
