Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1894b
"عن محمود بن لبيدٍ الأنصارى أن عمرَ بن الخطاب -لما قَدِم- شَكَى إليه أهلُ الشام وباء الأَرْضِ، وثِقَلها، وقالوا: لا يصلِحنَا إلا هذا الشرابُ، فقال عمر: اشرَبوا هذا العَسلَ، قالوا: لا يُصْلِحُنا، فقال رجال من أهل الأرض: هل لكَ أن نجعلَ لكَ من هذَا الشرابِ شيئًا لا يُسْكِرُ؟ قال: نعم، فطبخوه حتى ذَهَب منه الثُّلُثَان وبَقِى الثُّلثُ فأتَوْا به عُمرَ، فأدخل عمرُ إصبَعَه فيه، ثم رفَعَها فتَبِعها يَتَمَطَّطُ، فقال عمر: هذا الطلى، هذا مثل طلى الإبل، فأمرهم أن يشربوه، فقال له عبادةُ بن الصامت أحْلَلْتَها وَاللَّه، فقال عمر: كَلا واللَّه، اللهم إنى لا أُحِلُّ لهم شيئا حَرَّمْتَه عليهم، ولا أُحرِّم عليهم شيئًا أَحْلَلْته لَهم".

"From Mahmud ibn Labid al-Ansari that when Umar ibn al-Khattab arrived, the people of Syria complained to him of the land's plague and its heaviness, and said: Only this drink will set us right. Umar said: Drink this honey. They said: It does not set us right. Then men of the land said: Would you permit us to make for you from this drink something that does not intoxicate? He said: Yes. So they boiled it until two-thirds of it was gone and a third remained, and brought it to Umar. Umar inserted his finger into it, then raised it, and it stretched out in strands, and Umar said: This is the tila, like the tila of camels. So he commanded them to drink it. Ubadah ibn al-Samit said to him: You have made it lawful, by Allah! Umar said: No, by Allah. O Allah, I do not make lawful for them anything You have forbidden them, nor do I forbid them anything You have made lawful for them."
