1785 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Musa ibn Hilal narrated: I heard Hisham ibn Hassan recount:

“Whenever Ibn Sirin was invited to a banquet or a wedding, he would first go into his house and say, ‘Give me a drink of saweeq (ground-barley gruel).’ People would say to him, ‘Abu Bakr, you are going to a wedding and you drink saweeq?’ He would reply, ⦗250⦘ ‘I dislike to unleash the full force of my hunger on other people’s food.’”
