أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعْدٍ
قَالَ: " كَانَ سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَجُلًا غَلِيظًا، كَأَنَّهُ حَمَّالُ فَسَأَلَهُ بَعْضُ الْأُمَرَاءِ، مَا أُدُمُكَ، أَوْ طَعَامُكَ؟ قَالَ: الْخَلُّ وَالزَّيْتُ، فَقَالَ: فَإِذَا لَمْ تَشْتَهِهِ قَالَ: أَدَعُهُ حَتَّى أَشْتَهِيَهُ "
