Al-Ju'Ibn Abi al-Dunya

280 – Harun narrated to me; he said: al-Asmaʿi narrated to me; he said: Abu ʿAmr ibn al-ʿAlaʾ narrated to me: “A man would sit right next to his cooking pot, ladling food out for his neighbours and his family.” Someone said to him, “Do you mean according to his means?” He replied, “No—rather, you people will not even offer water.”

٢٨٠ - حَدَّثَنَي هَارُونُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْأَصْمَعِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ: «إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيَجْلِسُ عَلَى قِدْرِهِ، فَيَغْرِفُ لِجِيرَانِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ» ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: عَلَى قَدْرِهِ؟ قَالَ: «لَا، لَكِنَّكُمْ لَا تَسْقُونَ الْمَاءَ»
