574 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ أَبُو أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ: عَرَّسَ بِي أَبِي فِي إِمَارَةِ عُثْمَانَ فَدَعَا النَّاسَ فِي وَلِيمَةٍ لَنَا، وَكَانَ فِيمَنْ أَتَانَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ فَقَالَ: انْتَهِشُوا اللَّحْمَ نَهْشًا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «هُوَ أَهْنَأُ وَأَمْرَأُ أَوْ أَهْنَأُ وَأَبْرَأُ»
Abdullah bin Harith narrates: During the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), my father married me off. He invited people for a wedding feast (walima) for us, and among those who came to us was Sayyiduna Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: "You people should tear the meat with your teeth, for I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'This satisfies hunger better and does not burden the stomach (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words) it satisfies hunger better and is closer to safety.'"
