عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((إِنَّ مَطْعَمَ ابْنِ آدَمَ جُعِلَ مَثَلًا لِلدُّنْيَا وَإِنْ قَزَّحَهُ وَمَلَّحَهُ فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى مَا يَصِيرُ))
Narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The food of the son of Adam has been presented as an example for the world; even if the food is spiced and salted, see what it ultimately becomes.
