Sahih Muslim 1470b (Book 17, Hadith 84) #10788
The Importance of Bani Isra'il and Eve

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the importance of Bani Isra'il and Eve in preserving food and marital fidelity.

Hammam b. Munabbih said: These are some of the ahadith which Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrated to us from Allah's Messenger , and one of these (this one): Allah's Messenger said: Had it not been for Bani Isra'il, food would not have become stale, and meal would not have gone bad; and had it not been for Eve, a woman would never have acted unfaithfully toward her husband.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، قَالَ هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لَوْلاَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَخْبُثِ الطَّعَامُ وَلَمْ يَخْنَزِ اللَّحْمُ وَلَوْلاَ حَوَّاءُ لَمْ تَخُنْ أُنْثَى زَوْجَهَا الدَّهْرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of two people, Banu Israel and Hawwa', in preserving food from going bad and maintaining marital fidelity. Banu Israel were a group of people who lived during the time of Prophet Musa, peace be upon him, while Hawwa’ was the first woman created by Allah. According to this hadith, if it weren't for these two groups, food would have gone bad quickly and women would have been unfaithful to their husbands more often than not. This hadith teaches us that we should be grateful for all that Allah has given us as well as appreciate those who came before us for their contributions to society. It also reminds us that we should strive to maintain our relationships with our spouses so that they remain strong throughout our lives together.
