أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ:
لَوْ أَنَّ طَعَامًا كَثِيرًا كَانَ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ مَا شَبِعَ مِنْهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَجِدَ لَهُ أَكْلًا، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ ابْنُ مُطِيعٍ يَعُودُهُ، فَرَآهُ قَدْ نَحِلَ جِسْمُهُ، فَقَالَ لِصَفِيَّةَ: أَلَا تُلَطِّفِيهِ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْهِ جِسْمُهُ، تَصْنَعِينَ لَهُ طَعَامًا، قَالَتْ: إِنَّا لَنَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَدَعُ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَلَا مَنْ يَحْضُرُهُ إِلَّا دَعَاهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَكَلِّمْهُ أَنْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ مُطِيعٍ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ طَعَامًا يُرْجِعُ إِلَيْكَ جَسَدَكَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّهُ لَيَأْتِي عَلَيَّ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ مَا أَشْبَعُ فِيهَا شَبْعَةً وَاحِدَةً - أَوْ قَالَ: لَا أَشْبَعُ فِيهَا إِلَّا شَبْعَةً وَاحِدَةً - فَالْآنَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشْبَعَ حِينَ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ عُمْرِي إِلَّا ظِمْءُ حِمَارٍ

"If a great deal of food were with 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, he would not be satisfied from it after finding a way to eat it. He said: Ibn Mut'i came in to visit him, and saw that his body had become emaciated. He said to Safiyyah: 'Will you not be gentle with him, perhaps his body will return to him? Prepare food for him.' She said: 'We do that, but he does not leave anyone from his family or anyone present, but he invites them to it. So speak to him about that yourself.' Ibn Mut'i said to him: 'O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, if only you would prepare food that would restore your body to you.' He said: "Eight years will pass over me in which I will not be satisfied even once, or he said: I will not be satisfied except once. Now you want me to be satisfied when only the time of a donkey's drink is left of my life."
