Hadith 111:32

Abu Ya'la informed us, Muhammad ibn 'Uqbah narrated to us, Yahya ibn Hammad narrated to us, Abu 'Awanah narrated to us, he said: I prepared food and invited Sulayman al-A'mash. It reached me from him that he said: "Waddah invited us to a stinking bone and sour pomegranate." He said: So I met Raqabah ibn Masqalah and complained about him to him. He said: "I will suffice you [in dealing with him]." So he met him and said: "O Abu Muhammad, a brother from our brothers invited you and honored you, then you say: 'A stinking bone and sour pomegranate'? By Allah, I have not known you except as ill-natured, constantly frowning, quick to become bored, and belittling the rights of visitors, as if you are being administered mustard through the nose when you are asked to recount a story."

أخبرنا أبو يعلى حدثنا محمد بن عقبة حدثنا يحيى بن حماد حدثنا أبو عوانة * قال صنعت طعاما فدعوت سليمان الأعمش فبلغني عنه أنه قال إن وضاحا دعانا على عرق عائر ورمان حامض قال فلقيت رقبة بن مسقلة فشكوته إليه فقال أكفيك فلقيه فقال يا أبا محمد دعاك أخ من إخواننا فأكرمك ثم تقول على عرق عائر ورمان حامض أما والله ما علمتك إلا شرس الطبيعة دائم القطوب سريع الملل مستخفا بحقوق الزور كأنك تسعط الخردل إذا سئلت الحكاية
