﷽ *Series on The Etiquette of Eating* *Episode 16* Do not criticize or insult the food. Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) never criticized any food. If he liked it he would eat it and if he did not like it he would leave it. (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3370; Muslim, 2046) What is referred to here is permissible food; as for haraam food he would criticize it and forbid it. [Sharh Muslim, 14/26] *Thought For The Day* When shaytān looks at you and sees you persistent in your obedience to ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA), he will do his utmost to deceive you; if he still sees you persistent, he will give up on you and leave. However, if he sees you alternating between this and that, he will have hope in you. 👉 Al-Ḥasan Al-Basri (RAHIMAHULLAAH) [The Journey to Allah, page 39]
