حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَرْحَبِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي الْيَعْفُورِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عُمَرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى مَائِدَتِهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَوْسَعَ لَهُ عَنْ صَدْرِ الْمَجْلِسِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ فَلَقِمَ لُقْمَةً،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ ثَنَّى بِأُخْرَى،‏‏‏‏ ثُمّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ طَعْمَ دَسَمٍ مَا هُوَ بِدَسَمِ اللَّحْمِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ،‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ إِلَى السُّوقِ أَطْلُبُ السَّمِينَ لِأَشْتَرِيَهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ غَالِيًا،‏‏‏‏ فَاشْتَرَيْتُ بِدِرْهَمٍ مِنَ الْمَهْزُولِ وَحَمَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِدِرْهَمٍ سَمْنًا،‏‏‏‏ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ يَتَرَدَّدَ عِيَالِي عَظْمًا عَظْمًا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا اجْتَمَعَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَطُّ،‏‏‏‏ إِلَّا أَكَلَ أَحَدَهُمَا،‏‏‏‏ وَتَصَدَّقَ بِالْآخَرِ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ:‏‏‏‏ خُذْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَنْ يَجْتَمِعَا عِنْدِي،‏‏‏‏ إِلَّا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَفْعَلَ .

‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہ entered upon him when he was eating, and he made room for him in the middle of the gathering. He said: Bismillah, then he took a morsel and ate it, then a second. Then he said: “I notice some fat in the food but it is not the fat of the meat.” ‘Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہما said: “O Commander of the Believers! I went out to the marketplace looking for some fatty meat (bones with plenty of meat on them) to buy, but it was expensive, so I bought some lean meat (bones with not much meat on them) for a Dirham, and added a Dirham’s worth of ghee. I wanted my family to go through it bone by bone.” ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہما said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) never had these two things together; he would eat one and give the other in charity. 'Abdullah said: "Eat it this time, O commander of the Believers, and I will never have them both together again but I will do that (i.e., give one in charity). He said: "I will not eat it."
