Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 26121 — A man who buys meat for his family

It is narrated from Raja' bin Abi Salamah that he said: Umar bin Abd al-Aziz used to prepare food (for those) who attended him, but Umar did not eat from it, so the people did not eat either. Umar bin Abd al-Aziz asked: What is the matter that these people do not eat? The people told him: You have not eaten, so they have not eaten either. So he ordered one dirham a day from his own personal wealth, which was spent on the cooking; then he ate and the others ate as well.
