Sunan Ibn Majah 3353 (Book 29, Hadith 103) #32707
Honoring Food as a Blessing

SUMMARY: Show respect and honor to food as it is a blessing from Allah.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah entered the house and saw a piece of bread that had been thrown (on the floor). He picked it up, wiped it and ate it, and said: 'O 'Aishah, show honor to the precious (ie, food), for is the blessing of food departs from people, it never comes back.’"
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا وَسَّاجُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ وَسَّاجٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُوَقَّرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ الْبَيْتَ فَرَأَى كِسْرَةً مُلْقَاةً فَأَخَذَهَا فَمَسَحَهَا ثُمَّ أَكَلَهَا وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ يَا عَائِشَةُ أَكْرِمِي كَرِيمَكِ فَإِنَّهَا مَا نَفَرَتْ عَنْ قَوْمٍ قَطُّ فَعَادَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of showing respect and honor to food, which is a blessing from Allah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ demonstrated this by picking up the piece of bread that was thrown on the floor, wiping it off, and eating it. He then reminded 'Aishah to show honor to food because once its blessing departs from people, it never comes back. This teaches us that we should be grateful for all of our blessings in life and not take them for granted. We should also show respect for all types of food no matter how small or insignificant they may seem because they are still blessings from Allah that we should be thankful for.
