Hadith 16:296
Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Ibn ‘Uyaynah narrated to us, from Raja’ ibn Abi Salamah, who said: ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz used to set out food and invite people to it, but he would not eat from it, so they would not eat. He said: "What is the matter with them? They are not eating." They said: "You did not eat, so they are not eating." So he ordered a dirham every day from his own personal wealth to be spent on the cooking, and he ate, and they ate.
حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا بن عيينة عن رجاء بن أبي سلمة قال كان عمر بن عبد العزيز يضع طعاما يحضره فلا يأكل منه فلا يأكلون فقال ما شأنهم لا يأكلون فقالوا إنك لم تأكل فلا يأكلون فأمر بدرهم كل يوم من صلب ماله فأنفقها في الطبخ فأكل وأكلوا
