1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no specific mention of the most frequent food consumed by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. However, it is reported that he said: "O 'Aishah, a house in which there are no dates, its people are hungry." His guidance regarding food was that he would not reject what was available nor would he go to trouble to seek what was unavailable. He would eat whatever good and pure food he desired, and he never criticized any food. He ate sweets, honey, camel meat, lamb, chicken, bustard, wild donkey, rabbit, seafood, roasted meat, fresh dates, and dried dates. He drank milk, sawiq (a barley drink), honey mixed with water, and date-water.
