Abu Awanah and several others have narrated from Simak bin Harb a hadith similar to that of Abu’l-Ahwas; Shu’bah has narrated this hadith with the chain of «عن سماك عن النعمان بن بشير عن عمر».
´Simak bin Harb said:` "I heard An-Nu'man bin Bashir saying: 'Do you (people) not have what you wish of food and drink?' I have seen your Prophet and he did not have even enough daqal (dry dates) to fill his stomach.'"
