Sahih Muslim 1196h (Book 15, Hadith 68) #10003
Eating What is Available

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions went out on a journey, except for Abu Qatada. They had a cooked chicken leg with them, which the Prophet took and ate.

'Abdullah b. Abu Qatada reported on the authority of his father (Allah be pleased with him) that they went out with the Messenger of Allah and they were Muhrim except Abu Qatada. The rest of the hadith Is the same (but with the exception of these words): " He (the Holy Prophet) said: 15 there any- thing out of it? They said: We have its leg with us. The Messenger of Allah took it and ate it".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، - رضى الله عنه - أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ وَأَبُو قَتَادَةَ مُحِلٌّ ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ هَلْ مَعَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا مَعَنَا رِجْلُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَخَذَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأَكَلَهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of making do with what one has available to them. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions were on a journey when they came across a cooked chicken leg that was left over from their meal. Instead of leaving it behind, the Prophet took it and ate it as an example to his companions that one should not waste food but rather make use of whatever is available to them in order to fulfill their needs. This teaches us that we should always strive to make use of our resources in an efficient manner so as not to waste anything unnecessarily. Furthermore, this hadith also serves as an example for us that even if something may seem small or insignificant, we should still take advantage of it if possible because every little bit counts in fulfilling our needs and desires.
