We were hosted by Abu Mūsa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) and he asked for the food to be served and it had chicken meat in it.
عن زَهْدَم بن مُضَرِّبٍ الْجَرْمي قالَ: «كنا عند أبي موسى الأشعري، فدعا بمائدة وعليها لحم دجاج، فدخل رجل من بني تَيْمِ الله أَحْمَرُ، شَبِيهٌ بِالمَوَالِي، فقال له: هَلُمَّ، فَتَلَكَّأَ، فقال له: هَلُمَّ، فإني رأيتُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يأكل منه».
Zahdam ibn Mudarrib al-Jarmi reported: We were hosted by Abu Mūsa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) and he asked for the food to be served and it had chicken meat in it. A man from Banu Taymullāh entered. His complexion was red and he looked like the non-Arabs. He said to him: "Come and join us." The man, however, showed reluctance. Abu Mūsa said: "Come on, for I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) eating it."
