I answered, “Indeed, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Then praise Allah.”
This was recorded by Muslim.

Maʿmar related from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Abī Thawr, from Ibn ʿAbbās, from ʿUmar concerning this same incident: “I saw nothing in the house to attract the eye except three tanned hides.
