Generosity of Offering Food After Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a woman who would cook beet root and barley together and offer it to people after the Friday prayer.

Sahl bin Sa'd (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: There was a woman (in another narration; an old woman) among us who would put beet root in a pot and add to it some ground barley. She used to cook them together. On returning from the Friday prayer, we would greet her and she would offer it to us. Al-Bukhari.
عن سهل بن سعد رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ كانت فينا امرأة -وفي رواية‏:‏ كانت لنا عجوز- تأخذ من أصول السلق فتطرحه في القدر، وتكركر حبات من شعير، فإذا صلينا الجمعة، وانصرفنا، نُسلم عليها، فتقدمه إلينا‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the generosity of a woman who would cook beet root and barley together in a pot, then offer it to people after they returned from the Friday prayer. It is an example of ihsan, which means doing good deeds for others without expecting anything in return. The act of offering food to others is known as ta'mir, which shows that we should always be generous towards those around us. The hadith also highlights the importance of attending Jumu'ah or Friday prayers as it was after this prayer that she offered her food. This teaches us that we should not miss out on our religious obligations even if it means sacrificing something else for them.
