Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ زَوَّجَنِي أَبِي فِي إِمَارَةِ عُثْمَانَ فَدَعَا نَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَاءَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ انْهَسُوا اللَّحْمَ نَهْسًا فَإِنَّهُ أَهْنَأُ وَأَمْرَأُ أَوْ أَشْهَى وَأَمْرَأُ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الشَّكُّ مِنِّي أَوْ مِنْهُ.
English Translation
Sufyan ibn Uyaynah told us, from Abd al-Karim, from Abdullah ibn al-Harith, who said: My father married me off during the caliphate of Uthman, and he invited a group of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Safwan ibn Umayyah came, and he was a very old man, and he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Tear the meat with your teeth, for it is more wholesome and easier to digest," or "more appetizing and easier to digest." Sufyan said: "The doubt is from me or from him."
