Al-Ju'Ibn Abi al-Dunya

190 – Surayj related to me: Hushaym related to us, saying: ʿAwf narrated from al-Hasan, who said: ʿUmar once entered upon his son and found some freshly slaughtered meat before him. He asked, “What is this?” His son replied, “We felt a craving for meat, so we bought a dirham’s worth.” ʿUmar said, “Do you buy meat every time you crave it? It is extravagance enough for a person to eat whenever he desires.”

١٩٠ - حَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ عُمَرُ عَلَى ابْنِهِ وَعِنْدَهُ لَحْمٌ غَرِيضٌ، فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذَا؟» ، قَالَ: قَرِمْنَا إِلَى اللَّحْمِ فَاشْتَرَيْنَا مِنْهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ، قَالَ: «أَوْ كُلَّمَا اشْتَهَيْتَ اللَّحْمَ اشْتَرَيْتَهُ؟ كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ سَرَفًا أَنْ يَأْكُلَ كُلَّمَا اشْتَهَى»
