I heard that a meal was prepared for him—meaning Ibn ‘Umar. It was brought along with some bread. He wanted it distributed among the poor, but they took it away. He then said, “You have deprived me of feeding them, and you expect me to throw it into the privy? No, by Allah, I will not taste it today.”
