Asma’ daughter of Abu Bakr told that when she was brought tharid she ordered it to be covered until the force of its steam had gone, saying she had heard God’s messenger say it is more effective in producing a blessing.
Nubaisha reported God’s messenger as saying, “If anyone eats from a dish and licks it, the dish will express to him the wish that God may free him from hell as he has freed it from the devil.”
Anas b. Malik reported God’s messenger as saying, “The lord of your condiment is salt.”*
*Probably meaning that salt is necessary to make food palatable, while other condiments are extras.
