"عن أَبى محذورةَ قال: كنت جالسًا عند عمر بن الخطاب إِذْ جاء صفوان بن أمية بجفنةٍ فوضعها بين يدى عمرَ، فدعا عمرُ ناسًا مساكينَ وأرقاء من أرقاء النَّاسِ حوله فأكلوا معه، ثم قال عند ذلك: فعل اللَّه بقومٍ -أو لحا اللَّه قومًا- يرغبون عن أرقائهم أن يَأْكُلوا معهم، فقال صفوان: أما واللَّه ما نرغب عنهم ولكنا نستأثر عليهم؛ لا نجدُ من الطعامِ الطيبِ ما نأكلُ ونُطعِمُهم".

"From Abu Mahdhurah who said: I was sitting with 'Umar ibn al-Khattab when Safwan ibn Umayyah came with a large bowl and placed it before 'Umar. 'Umar called poor people and slaves of the people around him, and they ate with him. Then he said at that point: 'May Allah do such-and-such to a people, or may Allah curse a people, who disdain their slaves eating with them.' Safwan said: 'By Allah, we do not disdain them, but we monopolize over them. We do not find good food to eat and feed them.'"
