28 – Hāshim ibn al-Ḥārith narrated to us; he said: ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, from ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿUmayr, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Bakrah, from his father, reported: ⦗46⦘ Bread and oil were brought to ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb. He ate from them, wiping his stomach, and kept saying, “By Allah, O belly, you will make do with bread and oil for as long as clarified butter is being sold by the ounce!”
٢٨ - حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: ⦗٤٦⦘ أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ بِخُبْزٍ وَزَيْتٍ، فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ وَيَمْسَحُ بَطْنَهُ، وَيَقُولُ: «وَاللَّهِ لَتُمَرَّنُنَّ أَيُّهَا الْبَطْنُ عَلَى الْخُبْزِ وَالزَّيْتِ مَا دَامَ السَّمَنُ يُبَاعُ بِالْأَوَاقِيِّ»
