قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، [قَالَ]: إِنَّ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ فَرْقَدٍ [ قَالَ ]:

بَعَثَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بِخَبِيصٍ قَدْ أُجِيدَ صَنْعَتُهُ، وَصَنَعُوهُ فِي السِّلَالِ وَعَلَيْهَا اللُّبُودُ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ كَشَفَ الرَّحْلَ عَنِ الْخَبِيصِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: أَيَشْبَعُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي رِحَالِهِمْ مِنْ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ: لَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: لَا أُرِيدُهُ، وَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُتْبَةَ ؓ: " أَمَّا بَعْدُ: فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ كَدِّكَ وَلَا مِنْ كَدِّ أُمِّكِ، فَأَشْبِعْ مَنْ قِبَلَكَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي رِحَالِهِمْ مِمَّا تَشْبَعُ مِنْهُ فِي رَحْلِكَ "

✧ He sent to Umar some khabis (a sweet dish) that was well made, and they made it in baskets covered with felt. When it reached Umar ؓ, he uncovered the load from the khabis and said: "Will the Muslims be satiated in their saddles from this?" The messenger said: "No." Umar ؓ said: "I do not want it." And he wrote to Utbah ؓ: "To proceed: It is not from your labor nor from your mother's labor. So satiate those with you of the Muslims in their saddles from what you are satiated with in your saddle."
