اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي فُلَيْتٌ الْعَامِرِيُّ ، عَنْ جَسْرَةَ بِنْتِ دَجَاجَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا : " مَا رَأَيْتُ صَانِعًا طَعَامًا مِثْلَ صَفِيَّةَ صَنَعَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامًا ، فَبَعَثَتْ بِهِ فَأَخَذَنِي أَفْكَلٌ فَكَسَرْتُ الْإِنَاءَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا كَفَّارَةُ مَا صَنَعْتُ ؟ ، قَالَ : إِنَاءٌ مِثْلُ إِنَاءٍ ، وَطَعَامٌ مِثْلُ طَعَامٍ " .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: I saw no one cooking food like Safiyyah. She cooked food for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and sent it. I became angry and broke the vessel. I then asked: Messenger of Allah, what is the atonement for what I have done? He replied: A vessel like (this) vessel and food like (this) food.

Urdu footnote:
"Food in exchange for food" applies if the food has been spoiled. Some foods are spoiled when the dish breaks, while others are not. From the incident mentioned in Hadith:3407, it is understood that the food was not spoiled, because later there is mention of eating the food, and moreover, that food was sent for the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). In the case of spoilage, whether you take compensation or not is up to you. The food was not to be sent back.
