Chapter 30: The virtue of vinegar and using it as a condiment

باب فَضِيلَةِ الْخَلِّ وَالتَّأَدُّمِ بِهِ ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 2052 a

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked his family for condiment. They (the members of his household) said

We have nothing with us but vinegar. He asked for it, he began to eat it, and then said: Vinegar is a good condiment, vinegar is a good condiment.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَأَلَ أَهْلَهُ الأُدُمَ فَقَالُوا مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلاَّ خَلٌّ ‏.‏ فَدَعَا بِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ بِهِ وَيَقُولُ ‏"‏ نِعْمَ الأُدُمُ الْخَلُّ نِعْمَ الأُدُمُ الْخَلُّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
