كلام عمر بن الخطاب ﵁Sayings of Umar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه
Hadith 37202
٣٧٢٠٢ - حدثنا عفان قال: حدثنا سليمان بن المغيرة قال: قال ثابت: قال أنس: غلا (السعر) (١) غلا (الطعام) (٢) بالمدينة (على عهد عمر) (٣)، فجعل يأكل الشعير فاستنكره بطنه، فأهوى بيده إلى بطنه فقال: واللَّه ما هو إلا ما ترى، حتى يوسع اللَّه على المسلمين (٤).
Hazrat Anas says that prices increased, and during the time of Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) in Madinah Munawwarah, food became expensive. When Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) started eating the food, it did not suit his stomach. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) pointed towards his stomach with his hand and said: By Allah! You will eat this until Allah Almighty grants ease to the Muslims.
