Muwatta Malik #1822
The Description of the Prophet, may Allah Bless Him and Grant Him Peace
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمَاءِ الْقَرَاحِ وَالْبَقْلِ الْبَرِّيِّ وَخُبْزِ الشَّعِيرِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَخُبْزَ الْبُرِّ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَقُومُوا بِشُكْرِهِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Isa ibn
Maryam used to say, "O Banu Israil! You must drink pure water and the
green things of the land and barley bread . Beware of wheat bread, for
you will not be grateful enough for it."
