باب في اللُّقْمَةِ إِذَا سَقَطَتْ:Chapter: Picking Up Dropped Food
Hadith 2068
أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: كَانَ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ يَتَغَدَّى، فَسَقَطَتْ لُقْمَتُهُ، فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَمَاطَ مَا بِهَا مِنْ أَذًى، ثُمَّ أَكَلَهَا، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ أُولَئِكَ الدَّهَاقِينُ يَتَغَامَزُونَ بِهِ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ: مَا تَرَى مَا يَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَعَاجِمُ، يَقُولُونَ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ الطَّعَامِ، وَإِلَى مَا يَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ اللُّقْمَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ أَدَعُ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَوْلِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَعَاجِمِ،"إِنَّا كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ إِذَا سَقَطَتْ لُقْمَةُ أَحَدِنَا أَنْ يُمِيطَ مَا بِهَا مِنْ الْأَذَى، وَأَنْ يَأْكُلَهَا".
Imam Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) was eating food at noon when a morsel of his fell down. He cleaned off the dirt from it and then ate it. The farmers began signaling with their eyes. People said to him: Do you see what these non-Arabs are saying? They say, "Look at how much food is in front of him, yet he picks up and eats that morsel." Sayyiduna Ma'qil (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: I cannot abandon what I have heard just because of what these non-Arabs say. We were commanded that when a morsel falls from any of you, he should clean off whatever dirt (etc.) has stuck to it and then eat it.
