Treating them with the same food available in the household

The Prophet (SAW) said regarding a servant who prepares food: "Let him sit and eat with you, and if not, then give him a portion, for he has felt its heat and prepared it."

Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA)

Explanation

Someone who labors to prepare something is due a fair share of the result, not only the service itself.
