3567. It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was with one of his wives, and one of the Mothers of the Believers sent a servant with a bowl containing some food. She struck it with her hand, and broke the bowl. – Ibn Al-Muthanna (one of the narrators) said: “The Prophet ﷺ took the two pieces, put them together and collected the food in it and said: ‘Your mother got jealous.’” Ibn Al-Muthanna added: “Eat.” They ate until the one whose house he was at, brought her bowl. – Then we go back to the version of Musad-dad: “He said: ‘Eat’ and the Messenger (ﷺ) kept the servant there and he kept the bowl until they had finished eating. Then he gave the sound bowl to the servant, and kept the broken bowl in his house.” (Sahih)

3567 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَعَ خَادِمِهَا قَصْعَةً فِيهَا طَعَامٌ، قَالَ: فَضَرَبَتْ بِيَدِهَا فَكَسَرَتِ الْقَصْعَةَ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى: فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْكِسْرَتَيْنِ فَضَمَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا إِلَى الْأُخْرَى، فَجَعَلَ يَجْمَعُ فِيهَا الطَّعَامَ، وَيَقُولُ: «غَارَتْ أُمُّكُمْ» زَادَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى «كُلُوا» فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى جَاءَتْ قَصْعَتُهَا الَّتِي فِي بَيْتِهَا، ثُمَّ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى لَفْظِ حَدِيثِ مُسَدَّدٍ قَالَ «كُلُوا» وَحَبَسَ الرَّسُولَ وَالْقَصْعَةَ حَتَّى فَرَغُوا فَدَفَعَ الْقَصْعَةَ الصَّحِيحَةَ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَحَبَسَ الْمَكْسُورَةَ فِي بَيْتِهِ

A loaned item must be returned, or its damages should be paid for. If some food drops on the ground, the clean portion of this should be picked up and used.
