"عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ أَبِى رَبِيعَةَ أَتَى بِصَدَقَاتٍ قَدْ سَعَى إِلَيْها، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ فَقَرَّبَ لَهُمْ (عُمَرُ) تَمْرًا وَلَبَنًا وَزُبْدًا فَأَكَلُوا، وَأَبَى عُمَرُ أَنْ يَأكُلَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ أَبِى رَبِيعةَ: وَاللَّه -أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّه- إِنَّا لنشْرَبُ مِنْ أَلْبَانِها وَنُصِيبُ مِنْهَا، فَقَالَ: يَا بنَ أَبِى رَبِيعَةَ، إِنِّى لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكَ، إِنَّكَ تَتْبَعُ (أو تَتَّبِع) ( ) أَذْنَابَهَا وَتُصيبُ مِنْهَا فَلَسْتَ كَهَيْئَتِى".

"On the authority of Sulayman ibn Yasar that Ibn Abi Rabi'ah brought charities that he had collected. When he arrived, Umar ibn al-Khattab went out to him, and Umar set before them dates, milk, and butter, and they ate. Umar refused to eat. Ibn Abi Rabi'ah said to him: 'By Allah, may Allah set you right, we drink of their milk and take some of it.' He said: 'O son of Abi Rabi'ah, I am not in your position. You follow (or 'follow') () their tails and take some of it, but I am not in your position.'"
