270 – Fadl ibn Ishaq narrated to me; he said: Abu Usamah narrated to us, from Sulayman ibn al-Mughirah, from Thabit, who said:

ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab desired something to drink, so a cup of honey water was brought to him. He kept turning the vessel over in his hand, saying, “If I drink it, its sweetness will vanish while its reckoning will remain.” He then passed it to another man.
