"عن ابنِ شهابٍ أَنَّ عُمرَ بن الخَطَّابِ لمَّا قَدِمَ الشَّامَ أُهْدِيَتْ لَهَ سَلَّةُ خَبِيص، قال: إِنَّ هَذَا طَعَامٌ مَا أَعْرِفُه، فَمَا هُو؟ قَالُوا: يَا أَميرَ المُؤْمِنينَ! الخَبِيصُ، قَال: وما الخَبيصُ؟ قَالُوا: طَعَامٌ يُصْنَعُ مِنَ العَسَلِ وَنَقِىِّ الدَّقيق، قَالَ: واللَّه إِنَّ هَذَا طَعَامٌ لَا آكُلُه أَبدًا حَتَّى أَلْقَى اللَّه إلَّا أَن يَكُون طَعَامُ النَّاسِ كُلِّهِم مِثْلَه، قَالوا: يَا أَمِيرَ المؤْمنين! مَا هُو بِطَعامِ المُسلِمين كلِّهِمْ، قالَ: فلَا حَاجَةَ لنَا فِيه".

"It is narrated from Ibn Shihab that when 'Umar ibn al-Khattab came to Syria, a basket of khabis was presented to him. He said, 'This is a food I do not recognize; what is it?' They said, 'O Commander of the Believers, it is khabis.' He said, 'And what is khabis?' They said, 'A food made from honey and pure flour.' He said, 'By Allah, this is a food I will never eat until I meet Allah, unless the food of all the people is like it.' They said, 'O Commander of the Believers, it is not the food of all the Muslims.' He said, 'Then we have no need of it.'"
