Sahih al-Bukhari 6457 (Book 81, Hadith 46) #6206
Eating Habits of the Prophet

SUMMARY: Anas bin Malik was known to have a baker who prepared bread for him. He mentioned that the Prophet never saw a thin well-baked loaf of bread until he died, and he never saw a roasted sheep with his eyes.

Narrated Qatada: We used to go to Anas bin Malik and see his baker standing (preparing the bread). Anas said, "Eat. I have not known that the Prophet ever saw a thin well-baked loaf of bread till he died, and he never saw a roasted sheep with his eyes".
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَأْتِي أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَخَبَّازُهُ قَائِمٌ وَقَالَ كُلُوا فَمَا أَعْلَمُ النَّبِيَّ رَأَى رَغِيفًا مُرَقَّقًا، حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللَّهِ، وَلاَ رَأَى شَاةً سَمِيطًا بِعَيْنِهِ قَطُّ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the eating habits of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is narrated by Qatada that they used to go to Anas bin Malik's house and see his baker preparing bread for him. Anas then said that he has not seen the Prophet ever seeing a thin well-baked loaf of bread until he died, nor did he ever see a roasted sheep with his eyes. This hadith teaches us about moderation in our eating habits, as it shows us how even though the Prophet was offered food, he still chose to eat moderately and not overindulge himself in food or other luxuries. We can also learn from this hadith that we should be content with what we have been given by Allah SWT and not strive for more than what is necessary for our sustenance.
