3361. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said that 'Umar entered upon him when he was eating, and he made room for him in the middle of the gathering. He said: Bismillāh, 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." 'Abdullāh 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 said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ never had these two things together; he would eat one and give the other in charity." Abdullāh 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." (Hasan)

3361 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَرْحَبِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ 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، ثُمَّ 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 اللهُ 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»
