2113. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "A man would give his family food that was abundant and another would give his family food that was barely sufficient, then the following was revealed: 'With the Awasat[1] of that with which you feed your families...'"[2] (Da'if)
2113 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: " كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَقُوتُ أَهْلَهُ قُوتًا فِيهِ سَعَةٌ، وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَقُوتُ أَهْلَهُ قُوتًا فِيهِ شِدَّةٌ، فَنَزَلَتْ: {مِنْ أَوْسَطِ مَا تُطْعِمُونَ أَهْلِيكُمْ} [المائدة: 89] "

The food for expiation should not be prepared painstakingly of high standard, like the preparation for guests, nor should it be of low quality, as sometimes people do just with pickles, sauce or salad etc., rather the food provided for expiation should be of normal standard as a person often prepares for himself. Allâh knows best!
