3259. It was narrated from Abu Hāzim that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ never criticized any food. If it pleased him, he would eat it and if it did not he would leave it." (Sahih) Another chain from Abu Yahya from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ with similar wording. Abu Bakr said:[1] "We differ in it, they said: 'From Abu Hāzim.'" (Sahih)
3259 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: «مَا عَابَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامًا قَطُّ، إِنْ رَضِيَهُ، أَكَلَهُ، وَإِلَّا تَرَكَهُ» حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ. قَالَ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ نُخَالِفُ فِيهِ يَقُولُونَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ

a. If a cook fails in preparing any good dish, one should endure it; getting angry on trivial matters is contrary to behaving nobly. b. If one dislikes any food then it is not compulsory for him to eat it forcefully, nor should he be mad at the cook for preparing such food.
