Question

Assalamualaykum
May Allah keep us on the true path of Islam. Aameen.
Someone told me a hadeeth that
"Starting meal(Lunch, Dinner, Breakfast) with salt saves from 70 diseases."
May Allah reward you for the same,And the Reward depends upon your intention.
Remember all in duaas.
Assalamualaykum

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

 

This Hadeeth was narrated by Al-Haarith ibn Abi Usaamah in his Musnad on the authority of ‘Ali attributing it to the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. A group of scholars, such as Ibn Al-Jawzi, Ibn Al-Qayyim, As-Suyooti, Ash-Shawkaani and Mulla ‘Ali Al-Qaari’, classified it as a Mawdhoo‘ (fabricated) Hadeeth.

Allaah Knows best.
