وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ الْأَعْوَرُ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ:
غَزَوْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ الشَّامَ، فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا، فَجَاءَهُ دِهْقَانٌ يَسْتَدِلُّ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، حَتَّى أَتَاهُ. فَلَمَّا رَأَى الدِّهْقَانُ عُمَرَ ؓ سَجَدَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: مَا هَذَا السُّجُودُ ؟ قَالَ: هَكَذَا نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُلُوكِ ! فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: اسْجُدْ لِرَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ ! فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنِّي صَنَعْتُ لَكَ طَعَامًا فَأْتِنِي ! فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: هَلْ فِي بَيْتِكَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ تَصَاوِيرِ الْعَجَمِ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِي بَيْتِكَ، وَلَكِنِ انْطَلِقْ فَابْعَثْ إِلَيْنَا بِلَوْنٍ مِنْ طَعَامٍ، وَلَا تَزِدْنَا عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ عُمَرُ ؓ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِالطَّعَامِ، فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ لِغُلَامِهِ: هَلْ فِي إِدَوَاتِكَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيذِ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُ بِهِ، فَصَبَّهُ فِي إِنَاءٍ، ثُمَّ شَمَّهُ، فَوَجَدَهُ مُنْكَرَ الرِّيحِ. فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ شَرِبَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِذَا رَابَكُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ شَرَابِكُمْ فَافْعَلُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا

✧ I went on a military campaign with 'Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ to Syria. We halted at a place, and a dihqan (village chief) came seeking the Commander of the Faithful until he reached him. When the dihqan saw 'Umar ؓ, he prostrated. 'Umar ؓ said: 'What is this prostration?' He said: 'This is what we do to kings.' 'Umar ؓ said: 'Prostrate to your Lord who created you!' Then he said: 'O Commander of the Faithful, I have prepared food for you; come to me.' 'Umar ؓ said: 'Is there anything in your house of Persian images?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'We have no need of your house, but go and send us a type of food, and do not add anything to it.' He said: 'So the dihqan left and sent him the food, and he ate from it. Then 'Umar ؓ said to his servant: 'Is there any of that nabidh in your water-skin?' He said: 'Yes.' He brought it to him, and he poured it into a vessel, then smelled it and found its odor objectionable. He poured water over it three times, then drank, and said: 'If you find anything objectionable in your drink, do this with it.'
