النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ ، يَقُولُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْكُوفَةِ : وَاللَّهِ
" مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ قَالَ : نَبِيُّكُمْ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام يَشْبَعُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ ، وَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ دُونَ أَلْوَانِ التَّمْرِ وَالزُّبْدِ ! " .
Simak bin Harb (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I heard Hazrat Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) saying this from the pulpit of Kufa: By Allah! The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never filled his stomach with inferior dates for even a month, and you people are not satisfied unless you are given the varieties of dates and butter.
