"And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, 'Strike with your staff the stone,' and there gushed forth from it twelve springs."

Sahih Hadith
ما أَكَلَ رَسولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلَّمَ خُبْزًا مُرَقَّقًا، وَلَا شَاةً سَمِينَةً حتَّى لَقِيَ اللَّهَ
"The Messenger of Allah never ate thin bread, nor a roasted sheep, until he met Allah."
Sahih Muslim · 2020SahihNarrator: Jabir ibn Abdullah
This hadith on prophetic dietary moderation is directly relevant to gout prevention, as classical physicians identified excessive consumption of rich fatty meats and refined foods as primary causes of uric acid accumulation.
دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ وَعَلِيٌّ نَاقِهٌ وَلَنَا دَوَالٍ مُعَلَّقَةٌ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْكُلُ وَعَلِيٌّ يَأْكُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِعَلِيٍّ " مَهْ مَهْ إِنَّكَ نَاقِهٌ "
"The Messenger of Allah came to visit me, and Ali was with him. Ali was recovering from illness. We had bunches of dates hanging. The Messenger of Allah started eating, and Ali started eating. The Messenger of Allah said to Ali: 'Stop, stop! You are recovering from illness.'"
Sunan Ibn Majah · 3503HasanNarrator: Umm al-Mundhir bint Qays
This hadith demonstrates prophetic guidance on restricting food intake during inflammatory conditions, directly applicable to gout management where dietary restriction during acute attacks was prescribed by classical physicians.
