Hadith 1695
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : سُئِلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ الْجَرَادِ، فَقَالَ : " وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ عِنْدِي قَفْعَةً نَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the locust (i.e., whether it is lawful or unlawful). So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I wish I had a basket full of locusts so that I could eat them.
