Chapter: The prohibition of criticizing food
Sunan Ibn Majah 3259 — The prohibition of criticizing food
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : " مَا عَابَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامًا قَطُّ إِنْ رَضِيَهُ أَكَلَهُ ، وَإِلَّا تَرَكَهُ " .
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never found fault with any food; if he liked it, he would eat it, and if he did not like it, he would leave it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , مِثْلَهُ , قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : نُخَالِفُ فِيهِ ، يَقُولُونَ : عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ .
With this chain also, it is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) in a similar manner as a marfu‘ (attributed to the Prophet). Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah says: In this matter, we differ from the people; the people say « ( الأعمش عن أبي حازم ( عن أبي هريرة ) », (instead, I narrate «الأعمش عن أبي يحيى عن أبي هريرة»).
Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
If the cook falls short in preparing the food, it should be tolerated.
Losing one's temper over trivial matters is contrary to good character.
(2)
Sometimes a person may not like a particular food; in such a case, it is not necessary to force oneself to eat it, nor should one become angry with the person who served it, questioning why this food was prepared.
