English translation

It was narrated that Ibn "Abbas said:

Khalid bin al-Waleed and I entered upon Maimoonah bint al-Harith with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). She said: Shall we give you some food that was given to us by Umm ‘Ufaiq? Two grilled lizards were brought, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) spat. Khalid said to him: I think you find it off-putting? He said: “Yes." She said: Shall I give you some milk that was given to us? He said: "Yes." A vessel of milk was brought and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drank. I was on his right and Khalid was on his left, and he said to me: "The drink is yours, but if you want you can give precedence to Khalid." I said: I will not give precedence to anyone with regard to your leftover drink. Then he said: "If Allah provides food for anyone, let him say: ‘O Allah, bless it for us and give us something better than it." lf Allah provides milk for anyone, let him say: ‘O Allah, bless it for us and give us more.’ And there is nothing that takes the place of food or drink except milk.”
