Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلَ أَهْلَهُ الْإِدَامَ قَالُوا مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلَّا الْخَلُّ قَالَ فَدَعَا بِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ بِهِ وَيَقُولُ نِعْمَ الْإِدَامُ الْخَلُّ نِعْمَ الْإِدَامُ الْخَلُّ.
English Translation
Surayj - meaning Ibn al-Nu'man - told us, Abu Awanah told us, from Abu Bishr, from Abu Sufyan, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked his household for a relish. They said: "We have nothing but vinegar." He said: So he called for it and began to eat with it, saying: "What an excellent relish vinegar is, what an excellent relish vinegar is."
