اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ أَوْسَطِ ما تُطْعِمُونَ أَهْلِيكُمْ قَالَ هُوَ كَمَا يَكُونُ إِنَّهُ يَكُونُ فِي الْبَيْتِ مَنْ يَأْكُلُ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْمُدِّ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَأْكُلُ أَقَلَّ مِنَ الْمُدِّ فَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ جَعَلْتَ لَهُمْ أُدْماً وَ الْأُدْمُ أَدْنَاهُ الْمِلْحُ وَ أَوْسَطُهُ الْخَلُّ وَ الزَّيْتُ وَ أَرْفَعُهُ اللَّحْمُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:5#h89"><a href="/books/quran:5#h89">[5:89]</a></a> out of the food you feed your families with</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is as if he happens to be like the one who happens to be in the house, one who eats more than the handful, and among them is one who eats less than the handful. So it is between that, and if he so desire to, he can make for them some (curry) sauce, and the sauce, the lowest of it is the salt, and the average is the vinegar, and the oil, and the high of it is the meat’.
