[Machine] The passage translates to: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'O Dahhak, what is your food?' He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, it is meat and milk.' He said, 'Then it turns into what?' He said, 'Into what you know.' He said, 'Verily, Allah, blessed and exalted, has given an example of what comes out of the son of Adam as an example of the worldly life.'"  

أحمد:١٥٧٤٧حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الْكِلَابِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ يَا ضَحَّاكُ مَا طَعَامُكَ؟ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اللَّحْمُ وَاللَّبَنُ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَصِيرُ إِلَى مَاذَا؟ قَالَ إِلَى مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ قَالَ فَإِنَّ اللهَتَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى ضَرَبَ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ ابْنِ آدَمَ مَثَلًا لِلدُّنْيَا
