Hadith 25951
٢٥٩٥١ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا عبدة عن الرُّكين عن عصمة بن ربعي قال: قدمنا على عمر (ونحن) (١) أناس سمان حسنة هيئتنا، قال: فقال: ما طعامكم؟ قلنا: الضباب، قال: فقال عمر: ويجزيكم؟ قلنا: نعم، (فقال) (٢): وددت أن مع كل (ضب) (٣) مثله (٤) (٥).
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma bin Rabee. He says that we presented ourselves before Hazrat Umar. We were some people whose condition was very good. He states that Hazrat Umar asked: What is your food? We said: Dabb (a type of lizard). The narrator says: Upon this, Hazrat Umar said: Does it suffice you? We said: Yes! Upon this, he said: I like that with every dabb there should be another like it (i.e., another dabb).
