Hadith 29:128

Abu Usama narrated to us, from Isma'il, from Qays, who said: Bilal came to Umar while he was in al-Sham, and the commanders of the armies were sitting around him. He said, "O Umar." He said, "Here I am, Umar." Bilal said to him, "You are between these people and Allah, and there is no one between you and Allah. So look at who is to your left, and look at who is in front of you and behind you. By Allah, these people who are around you do not eat anything but the meat of birds." Umar said, "You have spoken the truth. By Allah, I will not rise from this seat of mine until they provide for every man among the Muslims a mudd of food and their share of vinegar and oil." They said, "That is up to us, O Commander of the Faithful. Allah has expanded the provision and increased the good." He said, "Then yes."
