Al-Hasan ibn ‘Arafah narrated to us: Mubarak ibn Sa‘id narrated to us—he is the brother of Sufyan ibn Sa‘id al-Thawri—from Sufyan, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘What an excellent condiment vinegar is.’ Reports on this topic also come from ‘A’ishah and Umm Hani’.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
Idam means a condiment or accompaniment eaten with bread/food; vinegar is praised here as a condiment.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ،
The English witness omits the chain and the biographical note that Mubarak ibn Sa‘id was Sufyan al-Thawri's brother.
Should the full chain and note be included?
