حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَتْ : أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِطَعَامٍ , فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْنَا ، فَقُلْنَا : لَا نَشْتَهِيهِ ، فَقَالَ : " لَا تَجْمَعْنَ جُوعًا وَكَذِبًا " .
´It was narrated that Asma’ bint Yazid said:` “Some food was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and it was offered to us. We said: ‘We do not have any appetite for it.’ He said: ‘Do not combine hunger and lies.’”

Brief Explanation
1؎: Some people have the habit that when someone offers them food, despite being hungry, they say: “I have no desire.” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade this. If one is hungry, one should eat; otherwise, by lying, one remains hungry and becomes subject to punishment.
