Hadith #551

Arabic Text

English Translation

Ibn Abi 'Adiyy narrated from Humayd, and Yazid ibn Harun informed us from Humayd, from Anas (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was with one of his wives — he said: I think it was 'A'ishah — and one of the Mothers of the Believers sent a dish containing food with a servant. The one in whose house the Prophet ﷺ was struck the hand of the servant, and the dish fell and broke. the Prophet ﷺ gathered the pieces of the dish, then began collecting the food that had been in it and placing it back, saying: 'Your mother was jealous.' Then he detained the servant until a replacement dish was brought from the one whose dish was broken. He gave the intact dish to the one whose dish had been broken, and kept the broken one in the house of the one who broke it.
