64 – Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn narrated to me; Muʿāwiyah ibn ʿAmr narrated to us; Zāʾidah ibn Qudāmah, on the authority of al-Aʿmash, said:
“We used to visit Khaythamah, and he would say, ‘Fetch the basket from beneath the bed.’ I would bring it out and inside there would be ⦗47⦘ khabīs (a sweet date confection). He would then say, ‘I myself do not eat it; I prepare it especially for you.’”
٦٤ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نَأْتِي خَيْثَمَةَ فَيَقُولُ: " تَنَاوَلِ السَّلَّةَ مِنْ تَحْتِ السَّرِيرِ، فَأَتَنَاوَلُهَا وَفِيهَا ⦗٤٧⦘ خَبِيصٌ، فَيَقُولُ: إِنِّي لَسْتُ آكُلُهُ، وَلَكِنِّي أَصْنَعُهُ لَكُمْ "
