Hadith.4259 - Commander of the Faithful (as) said: "Begin with salt at the start of the meal, for if people knew what is in salt, they would prefer it over the tried remedy."
4259 - وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "اِبْدَءُوا بِالْمِلْحِ فِي أَوَّلِ اَلطَّعَامِ فَلَوْ عَلِمَ اَلنَّاسُ مَا فِي اَلْمِلْحِ لاَخْتَارُوهُ عَلَى اَلتِّرْيَاقِ اَلْمُجَرَّبِ".
