Le Vinaigre et l'Huile

2. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Salamah al-Qalanisiy who has said the following: “I once visited abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and when I spoke to him he (the Imam) asked, ‘Why do I hear your voice as weak?’ I replied, ‘Because my mouth has fallen (perhaps a tooth).’ As if it seemed to grieve him (the Imam); and then he asked, ‘What do you eat?’ I replied, ‘I eat whatever is at home.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You must eat Tharid (bread made in pieces in broth) because there is blessing in it and if it does not have meat then vinegar and oil are fine.’”

He (the Imam) would take dinner after Salat (prayer) of al-‘Isha’. Vinegar, oil and cold meat were brought. He began to pull pieces of meat and give them to me but himself eat vinegar and oil and left the meat. He (the Imam) said, ‘This is our food and the food of the prophets ‘Alayhim al-Salam.’”

J'ai dîné avec Abu 'Abdillah (sur lui la paix) après le coucher du soleil, et il avait l'habitude de dîner après le coucher du soleil. On lui apporta du vinaigre, de l'huile et de la viande froide. Il commença à découper la viande pour me la donner à manger, et lui-même mangeait le vinaigre et l'huile, laissant la viande de côté. Il dit: "Ceci est notre nourriture et la nourriture des prophètes (sur eux la paix)."

A dit : "Ce que le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) aimait le plus parmi les teintures était le khôl et l'huile, et il a dit que c'étaient les aliments des prophètes (que la paix soit sur eux)."

7. Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith the following is narrated: “’Amir al-Mu’minin has said, ‘A family that uses vinegar and oil as their sauce, never becomes needy; it is the sauce of the Prophets, ‘Alayhim al-Salam.’”
