- ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad ibn Fuḍayl, a man from Raʾs al-ʿAyn, related to me; Muhammad ibn Ḥimyār al-Hilālī reported; Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh, from Shuraḥbīl ibn Muslim, conveyed that ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān—may Allah be pleased with him—would serve the people the lavish provisions allotted to the ruler, yet when he returned to his own house he would eat only vinegar and oil.
٦٨٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ، مِنْ أَهْلِ رَأْسِ الْعَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حِمْيَرٍ الْهِلَالِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، «أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ (رضي الله عنه) كَانَ يُطْعِمُ النَّاسَ طَعَامَ الْإِمَارَةِ وَيَدْخُلُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فَأَكَلَ الْخَلَّ وَالزَّيْتَ»
