Sunan Abi Dawud 5040 (Book 43, Hadith 268) #25331
Etiquette in Eating and Sleeping

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) visited the house of Aisha and taught his companions about proper etiquette while eating and sleeping.

Narrated Tikhfat al-Ghifari: Ya'ish ibn Tikhfat al-Ghifari said: My father was one of the people in the Suffah. The Messenger of Allah said: Come with us to the house of Aisha. So we went and he said: Give us food, Aisha. She brought hashishah and we ate. He then said: Give us food, Aisha. She then brought haysah as small in quantity as a pigeon and we ate. He then said: Give us something to drink, Aisha. So she brought a bowl of milk, and we drank. Again he said: Give us something to drink, Aisha. She then brought a small cup and we drank. He then said: If you wish, you may spend the night (here), or if you wish, you may go to the mosque. He said: While I was lying on my stomach because of pain in the lung, a man began to shake me with his foot and then said: This is a method of lying which Allah hates. I looked and saw that he was the Messenger of Allah .
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَحَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ يَعِيشَ بْنِ طِخْفَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ أَبِي مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الصُّفَّةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ انْطَلِقُوا بِنَا إِلَى بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا عَائِشَةُ أَطْعِمِينَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَجَاءَتْ بِحَشِيشَةٍ فَأَكَلْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا عَائِشَةُ أَطْعِمِينَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَجَاءَتْ بِحَيْسَةٍ مِثْلِ الْقَطَاةِ فَأَكَلْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا عَائِشَةُ اسْقِينَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَجَاءَتْ بِعُسٍّ مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَشَرِبْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا عَائِشَةُ اسْقِينَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَجَاءَتْ بِقَدَحٍ صَغِيرٍ فَشَرِبْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ بِتُّمْ وَإِنْ شِئْتُمُ انْطَلَقْتُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا مُضْطَجِعٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مِنَ السَّحَرِ عَلَى بَطْنِي إِذَا رَجُلٌ يُحَرِّكُنِي بِرِجْلِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ هَذِهِ ضِجْعَةٌ يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of etiquette when eating and sleeping. The Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) visited the house of his wife, Aisha, with some companions. He asked her to give them food which she did in two servings; hashishah first then haysah as small as a pigeon. He also asked for something to drink which she provided in two servings; a bowl full then a small cup. After they finished their meal he gave them an option to either stay at her house or go to the mosque for prayer. While one companion was lying on his stomach due to pain in his lung, the Prophet noticed this position was not appropriate so he corrected him by saying that Allah hates this kind of lying down position. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful when it comes to our manners while eating and sleeping as well as other activities we do throughout our day since these are important aspects that Allah looks upon favorably.
