1050 – ʿAbd Allah related to us; my father related to me; Hushaym related to us; Mansur informed us, from Ibn Sirin, that a man once said to Ibn ʿUmar, “Shall I make some jawārish (a digestive preparation) for you?”
Ibn ʿUmar asked, “And what is jawārish?”
The man replied, “It is something you take whenever food sits heavily in your stomach; once you partake of it, life becomes easier.”
Ibn ʿUmar responded, “I have not eaten my fill of food for the past four months. It is not because I cannot afford it; rather, I have known a people who were satisfied on one occasion and hungry on another.”
١٠٥٠ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا، قَالَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَجْعَلُ لَكَ جَوَارِشَ؟ قَالَ: وَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ الْجَوَارِشُ؟ قَالَ: شَيْءٌ إِذَا كَظَّكَ الطَّعَامُ فَأَصَبْتَ مِنْهُ سَهُلَ عَيْشُكَ قَالَ: فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: مَا شَبِعْتُ مِنْ طَعَامٍ مُنْذُ أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَمَا ذَاكَ أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ لَهُ وَاجِدًا وَلَكِنِّي عَهِدْتُ قَوْمًا يَشْبَعُونَ مَرَّةً وَيَجُوعُونَ مَرَّةً "
