Bukhari

Hadith Commentary:
This is why eating tharid is, in a sense, like eating the best of foods, which is favored among Muslims today. Especially among the lovers of the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), even today, preparing and eating tharid is preferred.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The virtue of tharid is mentioned in this hadith.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) greatly liked this food.
Pieces of bread are soaked in meat broth.
When they become soft, they are eaten.
This food is extremely delicious and easy to digest.
(2)
From this, it is understood that there is no harm in eating delicious food; it is not necessary to make it tasteless by mixing it with something else.
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary:
Tharid is an excellent food, easily digestible and a nourishing meal.
From this hadith, its superiority is evident, just as it indicates the lofty status and rank of Sayyidah Aisha radi Allahu anha.
Its explanation has already been mentioned earlier in the Book of Virtues (Kitab al-Manaqib).

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The apparent subtlety in tharid is that it is delicious and easy to digest, and it is easy to chew. Its inner subtlety is that it produces wholesome blood, which is a cause of masculine strength.
In the same way, the outward superiority of Aisha (radi Allahu anha) is that eloquence and fluency in speech were present on her tongue.
And her inner virtue is that she was a jurist (faqihah) and possessed insight.
Among the foods of the Arabs, tharid was the most desirable and preferred.

➋
From this analogy, it is understood that Aisha (radi Allahu anha) possessed, to the highest degree, good character, sweetness of speech, eloquence of tongue, sharpness of intellect, soundness of opinion, and seriousness in wisdom.
Above all, she had great love for the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also had great affection for her.
The greatest point is that one third of the rulings of the religion are narrated from her.
No one else attained this distinction.

Explanation:
1:
Among those women, Maryam, Khadijah, and Fatimah are excepted, as is established from other narrations.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Among human beings, the highest and most perfect rank is that of prophethood, which has not been granted to women. Allah the Exalted has said:
﴿وَما أَر‌سَلنا مِن قَبلِكَ إِلّا رِ‌جالًا﴾ ()
“(O Prophet!) We did not send before you except men (as messengers).”
Therefore, in the hadith, the perfection intended is not only that which is bestowed (wahbi), but also that in which there is an element of acquisition (kasb), that is, the rank of siddiqiyyah (truthfulness of the highest order). Among the women of previous communities, the highest rank of siddiqiyyah was attained by Maryam (alayha as-salam) and Asiyah (radi Allahu anha). In the Ummah of Muhammad, this rank was attained by Aishah (radi Allahu anha).

➋ Tharid is a type of food prepared by breaking bread into small pieces and soaking them in broth. In the environment of that era, it was the best food, both in terms of nutrition and taste. In addition, it is easily prepared, digests quickly, and possesses many benefits.
