The Book of the Kind Treatment of Women

ENGLISH

It was narrated that 'Aishah said:

"I never saw any woman who made food like Safiyyah. She sent a dish to the Prophet (ﷺ) in which was some food, and I could not keep myself from breaking it. I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) what the expiation was for that, and he said: 'A dish like that dish, and food like that food.'"

ARABIC

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ فُلَيْتٍ، عَنْ جَسْرَةَ بِنْتِ دِجَاجَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ صَانِعَةَ طَعَامٍ مِثْلَ صَفِيَّةَ أَهْدَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَاءً فِيهِ طَعَامٌ فَمَا مَلَكْتُ نَفْسِي أَنْ كَسَرْتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ كَفَّارَتِهِ فَقَالَ ‏

‏ إِنَاءٌ كَإِنَاءٍ وَطَعَامٌ كَطَعَامٍ ‏
