Pait ka Qufl e Madina | The Excellence of Hunger
Sayyidunā Imām Muhammad Ghazālī عَـلَـیۡـهِ رَحْـمَـةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـوَالِی has stated in Iḥyā-ul-‘Ulūm, ‘The one who weeps after eating and the one who plays and enjoys after eating cannot be equal.’ (Iḥyā-ul-‘Ulūm, vol. 2, pp. 8)
He رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَعَـالٰی عَـلَيْـه has further stated, ‘One should repent and express sadness in case of eating doubtful food so that his tears and sadness can put off the fire of Hell which he might face due to eating the doubtful food.’ The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has also stated, ‘The meat nurtured with Ḥarām, fire (of Hell) is more entitled to it.’ (Shu’ab-ul-Īmān, vol. 5, pp. 56, Ḥadīš 5761)
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
38. Piece of dry bread
Sayyidunā Junayd Baghdādī عَـلَیۡـهِ رَحۡـمَـةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـھَـادِی has narrated: Sayyidunā Ḥāriš Bin Asad Muḥāsibī رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه walked past my house. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه appeared to be hungry so I requested, ‘My dear uncle, please come and eat something.’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه came to our house but there was nothing for eating except some wedding food, which our neighbours had sent. I offered the same food to him. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه took a morsel, placed it into his mouth and kept moving it in his mouth without swallowing. Instead of eating the morsel, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه went to the porch and spat it out. Then, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه left. When I came across him after some days, I asked him about the food I gave him. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied, ‘I was certainly hungry and wanted to eat the food you offered so that I could please you, but there is a promise between me and Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that no doubtful food would go down my throat and it is the reason why I could not swallow it.’ I told him that the food had come from my neighbour’s house on a wedding occasion. I then asked him to come to my house so that I could serve him again. When he رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَعَـالٰی عَـلَيْـه entered, I served a piece of dry
