ahmad-zuhd:628ʿAbdullāh > Bī > Sayyār > Jaʿfar > Ḥawshab > al-Ḥasan > ʿUmar

[Machine] The passage translates to:

"Umar was brought a drink of honey, and when he tasted it, he found it to be water and honey. He said, 'Separate from me its account, separate from me its cost.'"  

الزهد لأحمد:٦٢٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أبِي حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَوْشَبٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ

أَنَّ عُمَرَ أُتِيَ بِشَرْبَةِ عَسَلٍ فَذَاقَهَا فَإِذَا مَاءٌ وَعَسَلٌ فَقَالَ «اعْزِلُوا عَنِّي حِسَابَهَا اعْزِلُوا عَنِّي مُؤْنَتَهَا»
