وَعَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ قَالَ : كُنَّا فِي غَزَاةٍ لَنَا ، فَلَقِينَا أُنَاسًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَأَجْهَضْنَاهُمْ عَنْ مَلَّةٍ لَهُمْ فَوَقَعْنَا فِيهَا ، فَجَعَلْنَا نَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا ، وَكُنَّا نَسْمَعُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَنَّ مَنْ أَكَلَ الْخُبْزَ سَمِنَ ، فَلَمَّا أَكَلْنَا ذَلِكَ الْخَبْزَ شَرَعَ أَحَدُنَا يَنْظُرُ فِي عِطْفَيْهِ هَلْ سَمِنَ ؟
Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were taking part in a military expedition, and we encountered some people from among the polytheists.

When we had eaten that bread, we examined our sides to see whether they had become fat.
