Sunan an-Nasa'i 3955

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna reported to us; he said: Khalid narrated to us; he said: Humayd narrated to us; he said: Anas narrated to us, saying: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was with one of the Mothers of the Believers when another sent a bowl containing food. She struck the hand of the messenger, and the bowl fell and broke. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, picked up the two pieces, fitted one against the other, and began gathering the food into it. He said: ‘Your mother became jealous. Eat.’ They ate. He waited until she brought the bowl from her own house, then gave the intact bowl to the messenger and left the broken one in the house of the wife who had broken it.
