Riyad as-Salihin, 863
Sahl bin Sa`d (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
There was a woman (in another narration; an old woman) among us who would put beet root in a pot and add to it some ground barley. She used to cook them together. On returning from the Friday prayer, we would greet her and she would offer it to us. <b>[Al-Bukhari]</b>.
عن سهل بن سعد رضي الله عنه قال: كانت فينا امرأة -وفي رواية: كانت لنا عجوز- تأخذ من أصول السلق فتطرحه في القدر، وتكركر حبات من شعير، فإذا صلينا الجمعة، وانصرفنا، نُسلم عليها، فتقدمه إلينا" ((رواه البخاري)).
