Asalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabaraakatu,
Could any one please help my understanding with a hadeeth that shows that the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasalam) said that blowing on hot food is disliked. This is what i have been told but would like to see the hadeeth if this is true so then i have complete reassurance.
Shazakallah khairun
Shaza'kallah Khairun, Remi.

Asalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh
The hadith which you are referring to akhi is as follows:
((Ibn Abbas radiallahu anhumaa reported that the prophet sallalahu alaihi wa sallam disliked anyone breathing in a vessel or blowing in it.))
This hadeeth was recorded by Imam Ahmed in his Musnad(1), At-Tirmithi(2), Abu Dawood(3) and Ibn Majah(4) in their Sunan. Imam At-Tirmithi and Sheikh Al-Albaani(5) authenticated it.
Imam Ash-Shawkaanee mentions this hadeeth in his book (Nailul-awtaar)(6), in the chapter (Etiquette of drinking). He rahimahullah gathers a couple of narrations referring to this topic and then gives a nice explanation to them.
He says rahimahullah:
 | quote: |
Relating to his (sallalahu alaihi wa salam) saying ((then he should not breath in the vessel)) this is a prohibition from breathing in that which is drunk from, in order that saliva/spit is not let out from the mouth leaving it (the vessel) unclean for the next person who drinks from it, or causing a foul smell to be attached to the water or vessel. |
|
He also explains the meaning of the sentence ((or blowing in it)):
| quote: |
...as for his saying ((or blowing in it)) ie: in the vessel which is drunk from. The word ((vessel)) here includes the vessel which is used for food and drink. So one should not blow in the vessel in order to remove that which is in the water from dirt or what is similar to that, for verily blowing generally is not free from saliva which is deemed unclean or filthy. Likewise one should not blow in the vessel in order to cool down hot food, rather he should be patient until the food has cooled down itself as previously mentioned. One should also not eat the food whilst it is hot, for verily the blessing will depart from it and it is from the food of the people of the hellfire.
