Sunan Ibn Majah 3341 (Book 29, Hadith 91) #32695
Refusing Food Stored in Unsuitable Containers

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad wished for some white bread made of brown wheat, softened with ghee. A man from the Ansar heard this and brought it to him, but he refused to eat it because the ghee was kept in a container made of mastigure skin.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "One day, the Messenger of Allah said: 'I wish that we had some white bread made of brown wheat, softened with ghee, that we could eat.’ A man from among the Ansar heard that, so he took some (of that food) and brought it to him. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Where was this ghee kept?’ He said: 'In a container made of mastigure (a small lizard) skin.’ And he refused to eat it".
حَدَّثَنَا هَدِيَّةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى السِّيْنَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ‏"‏ وَدِدْتُ لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدَنَا خُبْزَةً بَيْضَاءَ مِنْ بُرَّةٍ سَمْرَاءَ مُلَبَّقَةٍ بِسَمْنٍ نَأْكُلُهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَاتَّخَذَهُ فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ فِي أَىِّ شَىْءٍ كَانَ هَذَا السَّمْنُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فِي عُكَّةِ ضَبٍّ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ

Store food in suitable containers

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of storing food in suitable containers. The Prophet Muhammad wished for some white bread made of brown wheat, softened with ghee. A man from the Ansar heard this and brought it to him, but he refused to eat it because the ghee was kept in a container made of mastigure skin which is not suitable for storing food. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful when storing food and make sure that we use appropriate containers so that our food remains safe and clean. We should also be mindful when eating something as we don't know where or how it has been stored before reaching us.
