Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْوَصَّافِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ عَلَى جَابِرٍ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِمْ خُبْزًا وَخَلًّا فَقَالَ كُلُوا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ نِعْمَ الْإِدَامُ الْخَلُّ إِنَّهُ هَلَاكٌ بِالرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِ النَّفَرُ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ فَيَحْتَقِرَ مَا فِي بَيْتِهِ أَنْ يُقَدِّمَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَهَلَاكٌ بِالْقَوْمِ أَنْ يَحْتَقِرُوا مَا قُدِّمَ إِلَيْهِمْ.
English Translation
Asbat ibn Muhammad told us, 'Abdullah ibn al-Walid al-Wassafi told us, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Ubayd ibn 'Umayr, who said: A group of the Prophet's companions, peace and blessings be upon him, visited Jabir, and he set before them bread and vinegar, saying, "Eat, for I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'What an excellent condiment vinegar is. It is ruinous for a man that a group of his brothers visit him and he belittles what is in his house, unwilling to set it before them; and it is ruinous for the group to belittle what is set before them.'"
