The hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad and Al-Tirmidhi from Anas, in which one of the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent him food in a bowl, and 'Aisha then knocked its contents over, whereupon the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Food for food and vessel for vessel," is a sound and authentic hadith (hasan sahih). It was authenticated by Al-Albani and Shu'ayb Al-Arna'ut, and there is a disagreement regarding the identity of the owner of the bowl.
