أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حَمْدَانَ الْجَلَّابُ بِهَمْدَانَ ثَنَا هِلَالُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الرَّقِّيُّ ثَنَا أَبِي ثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِصُهَيْبٍ إِنَّكَ لَرَجُلٌ لَوْلَا خِصَالٌ ثَلَاثَةٌ قَالَ وَمَا هُنَّ؟ قَالَ اكْتَنَيْتَ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ وَانْتَمَيْتَ إِلَى الْعَرَبِ وَأَنْتَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ وَفِيكَ سَرَفٌ فِي الطَّعَامِ قَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَمَّا قَوْلُكَ اكْتَنَيْتَ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَنَّانِي أَبَا يَحْيَى وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكُ انْتَمَيْتَ إِلَى الْعَرَبِ وَأَنْتَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ فَإِنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّمِرِ بْنِ قَاسِطٍ اسْتُبِيتُ مِنَ الْمَوْصِلِ بَعْدَ أَنْ كُنْتُ غُلَامًا قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَهْلِي وَنَسَبِي وَأَمَّا قَوْلُكَ فِيكَ سَرَفٌ فِي الطَّعَامِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ خَيْرَكُمْ مَنْ أَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ»

✧ that he said to Suhayb: "You are a man, were it not for three traits." He said: "And what are they?" He said: "You have taken a kunya while you have no child, you have affiliated yourself with the Arabs while you are a man from the Romans, and in you is extravagance in food." He said: "O Commander of the Faithful, as for your saying that I took a kunya while I have no child, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me the kunya Abu Yahya. As for your saying that I affiliated myself with the Arabs while I am a man from the Romans, I am a man of al-Namir b. Qasit; I was captured from Mosul after I had been a boy who knew my family and lineage. As for your saying that in me is extravagance in food, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The best of you is the one who feeds others.'"
