Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25960 — Reports on what may be eaten

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) that some Magians lived in his property, and those Magians used to give gifts to Sayyiduna Abu Barzah on the occasions of Nawruz and Mihrajan. Abu Barzah would say to his household: Whatever is of the category of fruit, eat it, and whatever is other than that, return it.
