Chapter 70: Food, Meals
Narrated Khalid bin Al-Walid: That he went with Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) to the house of Maimuna, who was his and Ibn 'Abbas' aunt. He
found with her a roasted mastigure which her sister Hufaida bint Al-Harith had brought from Najd.
Maimuna presented the mastigure before Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) who rarely started eating any (unfamiliar)
food before it was described and named for him. (But that time) Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) stretched his hand
towards the (meat of the) mastigure whereupon a lady from among those who were present, said,
"You should inform Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) of what you have presented to him. O Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ)! It is the
meat of a mastigure." (On learning that) Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) withdrew his hand from the meat of the
mastigure. Khalid bin Al-Walid said, "O Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ)! Is this unlawful to eat?" Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ)
replied, "No, but it is not found in the land of my people, so I do not like it." Khalid said, "Then I
pulled the mastigure (meat) towards me and ate it while Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) was looking at me.
