Question

Is this Hadith authentic?

“It is better for the food to go to the dog than for you to eat it when you are already full..”

 

Answer

Imam ‘Abdur Razzaq and Bayhaqi (rahimahumallah) have recorded this narration as the statement of Luqman al Hakim and not as a Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

Luqman al Hakim said: “O my beloved son, do not eat more than your fill, for if you were to give the excess to a dog, it would be better for you.”

(Musannaf ‘Abdur Razzaq, Hadith: 19539, Shu’abul Iman, Hadith: 5306)

The chain is weak, but the narration may be quoted as the statement of Luqman al Hakim.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
