Yes, the Prophet Muhammad ate eggs.
Based on available information, the Prophet Muhammad did consume eggs. Specifically, it is documented that he once ate an egg from an ostrich. Additionally, it is known that chickens were common in Madinah, roaming freely in the streets, making chicken eggs a readily available and significant food source. This implies that the Prophet likely consumed chicken eggs as well.
Here's a breakdown of the information:
- Ostrich Eggs: The Prophet ate an ostrich egg. This indicates that eggs, in general, were part of his diet.
- Chicken Eggs: Chickens were common in Madinah, making chicken eggs a very accessible food source. It is highly probable that the Prophet consumed chicken eggs.
- Other Foods: While cheese was not known in Madinah at the time, curd was consumed, illustrating a variety in the diet of the people and, by implication, the Prophet.
In summary, the evidence strongly suggests that the Prophet Muhammad did eat eggs, from both ostriches and most likely chickens as a regular part of his diet.
