Primary text

It is disliked (makruh) to find fault with food. Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) never criticized any food. If he desired it, he ate it, and if he did not desire it, he left it. This is established in the two authentic collections (Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
