- Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Munib al-Adani narrated to me; al-Sari—meaning Ibn Yahya—narrated to us; someone I trust narrated to me, that ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz once drew one of his sons to himself—he loved him dearly—and said, “O so-and-so, by Allah, I do love you, yet I cannot prefer you to your brother by even a single mouthful.”
٤٠ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُنِيبٍ الْعَدَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا السَّرِيُّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنِي مِنْ أَثِقُ بِهِ , أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ضَمَّ ابْنَا لَهُ وَكَانَ يُحِبُّهُ فَقَالَ: «يَا فُلَانُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ وَمَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُوثِرَكَ عَلَى أَخِيكَ بِلُقْمَةٍ»
