Al-Kāfi - The Book of Food

Chapter: Eating Pieces of Food that Fall on the Table-spread وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَ٠َيْعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلا٠) قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَرَأَى كِسْرَةً كَادَ أَنْ يَطَأَهَا فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَكَلَهَا ثُ٠ِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْكِ فَإِنَّهَا لَ٠ٍ فَكَادَتْ تَعُودُ إِلَيْهِ٠6.

Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith the following is narrated: from ‘Amr ibn Jami’ who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, once entered ‘A’ishah’s home and saw pieces of food on which he was about to step.

He (the Messenger of Allah) picked them up and said, ‘O Humayra’ you must honor the company of the bounties of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, with you; from whoever they get farther away they never then return to them.’” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (22/118))
