I was with Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) in the company of some Magians when a sweet was brought in a silver vessel, and Anas did not eat from it
عن أنس بن سيرين، قال: كنت مع أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه عند نفر من المجوس؛ فجيء بفَالُوذَجٍ على إناء من فضة، فلم يأكله، فقيل له: حوله، فحوله على إناء من خَلَنْجٍ وجيء به فأكله.
Anas ibn Sirīn reported: I was with Anas ibn Mālik(may Allah be pleased with him) in the company of some Magians when a sweet was brought in a silver vessel, and Anas did not eat from it. The man was told to change the vessel, and he replaced it with a wooden bowl and brought it. Thereupon, he ate from it.

Explanation
While Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) was in the company of some Magians, some type of sweet was served to him on a silver platter. However, he would not eat from it. So the hosts changed it to a wooden platter, and he ate therefrom.
