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 narrated to us, from Abd al-Karim, from Abdullah ibn al-Harith. He said: My father married me off during the governorship of Uthman, and he invited some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Safwan ibn Umayyah came - and he was an old man - and said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Bite the meat with your teeth, for it is more wholesome and more agreeable' - or 'more appetizing and more agreeable.'" Sufyan said: "The uncertainty is from me or from him."
