Hadith 33:239
Abu Khalid al-Ahmar narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Sa'id, from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban, who said: There was a platter in front of Umar containing crumbled bread with fat in it. A man came who looked like a Bedouin, so Umar said, "Eat." He began to follow the fatty morsels on the side of the platter. Umar said, "It is as if you are famished." He replied, "By Allah, I have not tasted ghee, nor have I seen anyone eating it." Umar said, "By Allah, I will not taste ghee until the people live from the first of what they live upon."
حدثنا أبو خالد الأحمر عن يحيى بن سعيد عن محمد بن يحيى بن حبان قال كان بين يدي عمر صحفة فيها خبز مفتوت فيه فجاء رجل كالبدوي فقال عمر كل قال فجعل يتبع باللقمة الدسم في جانب الصحفة فقال عمر كأنك مقفر فقال والله ما ذقت سمنا ولا رأيت له آكلا فقال عمر والله لا أذوق سمنا حتى يحيى الناس من أول ما يحيون
