"عَن السَّائب بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: رَكِبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّاب عَامَ الرَّمَادَةِ دَابَّةً فَرَاثَثْ شَعِيرًا فَرَآهَا عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ: الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَمُوتُونَ هُزْلًا وَهَذِهِ الدَّابَّةُ تَأكُلُ الشَّعيرَ؟ لَا وَاللَّه لَا أَرْكَبُهَا حَتَّى يَحْيَا النَّاسُ".

"It is narrated from al-Sa'ib ibn Yazid who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab rode an animal in the year of ar-Ramadah, and it had been fed barley. 'Umar saw it and said: 'The Muslims are dying of emaciation, and this animal eats barley? No, by Allah, I will not ride it until the people are revived.'"
