65 – Muḥammad narrated to me; al-Faḍl ibn Dukayn narrated to us; Abū Khaldah narrated to us; he said:

We visited Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn—ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAwn and I—and he remarked, “I am at a loss as to what present to give you. Each of you has bread and meat in his own home. Instead, I will feed you something I doubt can be found in your houses.” He then produced a shahdah (a slab of honeycomb) and, slicing it with a knife, placed the pieces into our mouths.
