How excellent is vinegar as a condiment
Musnad ash-Shihab 1321 — How excellent is vinegar as a condiment
1321 - نا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الْفَارِسِيُّ، لَفْظًا، أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصُّوفِيُّ، نا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ، نا جَدِّي، نا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، عَنْ مُحَارِبِ بْنِ دِثَارٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «نِعْمَ الْإِدَامُ الْخَلُّ، وَكَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ شَرًّا أَنْ يَتَسَخَّطَ مَا قُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What an excellent condiment vinegar is, and it is sufficient evil for a person that he dislikes whatever is brought near to him."
