Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: In that era, it was very easy for the Arabs to obtain vinegar, so it was common. This shows that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not practice affectation in food; whatever was available, he would eat, and grape vinegar is, in any case, delicious.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The term "salan" (curry/condiment) does not refer to any specific thing; rather, anything by which bread becomes moistened or passes easily down the throat—whether it is in the form of broth and liquid, or in a solid form such as meat, egg, etc.—will be called "salan." Vinegar also moistens the bread and, with the help of its flavor, assists in passing it down the throat, and in fact, aids in digestion as well. These are precisely the characteristics of "salan," therefore vinegar is also considered "salan." If someone swears an oath not to use "salan" and then uses vinegar, he will have to offer expiation (kaffarah) for his oath, because his oath has been broken.
