حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ , سَمِعَهُ مِنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ , قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ , عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ , فَقَالَ : " لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ نَأْكُلُهُ إِلَّا وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ , حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ أَشْدَاقُنَا " .

➋ The purpose of mentioning such circumstances from the pulpit is to make the listeners understand that now, when all kinds of blessings are available, one should express gratitude to Allah for them, and should not begin to complain over even a minor decrease in these blessings.
