‘Amr b. Shu'aib, quoting his father on the authority of his grandfather, said that a nomadic Arab came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him about ablution. He demonstrated it, performing each detail three times and then said, “This is how ablution should be performed. If anyone does more than this, he has done wrong, transgressed, and done wickedly.” Nasa’i and Ibn Majah transmitted it, and Abu Dawud transmitted something to the same effect.

Anas said he was not aware of the Prophet (ﷺ) having seen a thin loaf till he met Allah, [i.e. during his lifetime.] nor did he ever see with his eye a sheep roasted in its skin. Bukhari transmitted it.

Sahl b. Sa‘d said that Allah's Messenger ﷺ never saw white bread from the time Allah commissioned him till Allah took him. He also said that Allah's Messenger ﷺ did not see a sieve from the time Allah commissioned him till Allah took him. He was asked how they could eat unsifted barley and replied that they ground it and blew it, and when some of it had flown away they moistened and ate what was left. Bukhari transmitted it.

Abu Huraira said that the Prophet (ﷺ) never expressed disapproval of food; if he desired it he ate it and if he disliked it he left it alone. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

He told that a man who used to eat a great amount accepted Islam and began to eat little. When that was mentioned to the Prophet (ﷺ) he said, “The believer eats in one intestine but the infidel in seven.”* *This is explained as a figure of speech to indicate the greed of the infidel and the lack of greed on the part of the believer. Bukhari transmitted it. Muslim transmitted on the authority of Abu Musa and Ibn ‘Umar only the part which quotes the Prophet. In another version by him on the authority of Abu Huraira it says that a man who was an infidel was entertained by Allah's Messenger ﷺ. He ordered a sheep to be milked and the man drank what was drawn from it, then another and he drank it, then another and he drank it, till he had drunk the milk drawn from seven sheep. In the morning the man accepted Islam and Allah's Messenger ﷺ ordered a sheep to be milked for him . When he had drunk what was drawn from it he ordered another to be milked, but when he did not finish all the milk Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, “ The believer drinks in one intestine, but the infidel drinks in seven.”

He reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying, “Two people’s food is enough for three and three people’s is enough for four.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

Jabir told of hearing Allah's Messenger ﷺ say, “One person’s food is enough for two, two persons’ food is enough for four, and four persons' food is enough for eight.” Muslim transmitted it.

‘A’isha told that she heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ say, “Talbina* gives rest to an invalid’s heart and removes some of his grief.” *A kind of gruel made of flour or bran and milk, sometimes having honey mixed with it. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
