Sahih al-Bukhari 3399 (Book 60, Hadith 72) #3250
The Impact of Bani Israel and Eve on Humanity

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) said that if it were not for the people of Israel, meat would not decay and if it were not for Eve, no woman would ever betray her husband.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Were it not for Bani Israel, meat would not decay; and were it not for Eve, no woman would ever betray her husband".
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجُعْفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ لَوْلاَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَخْنَزِ اللَّحْمُ، وَلَوْلاَ حَوَّاءُ لَمْ تَخُنْ أُنْثَى زَوْجَهَا الدَّهْرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the impact of two groups of people on humanity. The first group is Bani Israel, which refers to the descendants of Jacob in the Bible. According to this hadith, if it weren't for them, meat would never decay. This means that without them, humans wouldn't have been able to enjoy fresh meat as a food source. The second group mentioned in this hadith is women in general and specifically Eve from the Bible. It states that without her no woman would ever betray her husband. This could mean that women are naturally faithful or loyal to their husbands but due to Eve's actions they are now capable of betrayal as well. Both these groups have impacted humanity in different ways and this hadith serves as a reminder of their influence on us today.
