54 — Ahmad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Kathīr related to me: Umāra ibn Yahyā Abū Hamza related to me, from Abd al-Rahmān ibn Mahdī, who said: Bishr ibn Mansūr said to me, “I invite to my table even someone whom I would rather have my food thrown to a dog than have him eat it.”
٥٤ - وَحَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُمَارَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَبُو حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي بِشْرُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ: «إِنِّي لَأَدْعُو إِلَى طَعَامِي مَنْ لَوْ نَبَذْتُهُ إِلَى الْكَلْبِ لَكَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ»
