(مَا يُحِبُّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)
(What the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, loves)
Hadith 5260
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْجِبُهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ثَلَاثَةٌ الطَّعَامُ وَالنِّسَاءُ وَالطِّيبُ فَأَصَابَ اثْنَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُصِبْ وَاحِدًا أَصَابَ النِّسَاءَ وَالطِّيبَ وَلَمْ يُصِبِ الطَّعَامَ. رَوَاهُ أَحْمد
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) liked three things of this world: food, women, and perfume. Two of these were granted to him and one was not. He was granted women (the pure wives, may Allah be pleased with them) and perfume, but (satisfying) food was not granted to him. Its chain is weak, narrated by Ahmad.
