Food

Mu’ meneen Brothers and Sisters, As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah’s Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

“The food for two suffices for three; and the food for three suffices for four persons.”

(Al Bukhari and Muslim – Page 497 Chapter 62 Hadith No. 565  Riyad-us-Saliheen)

Commentary: We are told that if on some occasion a host feels that the prepared food is too little to feed his guest, all of them should willingly share it with each other.

This will be both blessing and rewarding from Allah.
