To what extent is the hadith "Deprive yourselves of delicious food, for verily, it is from it that Satan gains strength to flow in the veins" authentic and what is its meaning?
This , narrated by Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and attributed to the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Deprive yourselves of delicious food, for verily, the strength of Satan to flow through the veins is through it," is a fabricated and false Hadith attributed to the Prophet (peace be upon him). The accused narrator is Bazee' bin Hassan, Abu Al-Khalil Al-Khasaf, and Hadith Imams have unanimously agreed on his weakness and abandonment, stating that his narrations are Munkar (denounced) and fabricated. Many scholars have included this Hadith in books dedicated to fabricated Ahadith. Furthermore, the meaning of the Hadith is objectionable, as it was not the practice of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his Companions to abstain from delicious foods. Rather, he used to eat meat and loved sweets and honey. What is blameworthy in eating is excessive satiety.
