[Machine] I entered with my friend to Salman, so he brought us bread and salt, and he said, "If it were not for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding us from luxury, I would have prepared more for you." Then my friend said, "If we had some salt, I would have mortgaged it to the butcher and brought it." So he sent his ewer to the butcher and pawned it, and he came back with some salt and threw it in the food. When we finished eating, my friend said, "All praise is due to Allah who has satisfied us with what He has provided for us." Salman then said, "If you had been satisfied with what you were given, my ewer would not have been pawned at the butcher's."  

دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي عَلَى سَلْمَانَ فَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْنَا خُبْزًا وَمِلْحًا فَقَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَانَا عَنِ التَّكَلُّفِ لَتَكَلَّفْتُ لَكُمْ» فَقَالَ صَاحِبِي لَوْ كَانَ فِي مِلْحِنَا سَعْتَرٌ فَبَعَثَ بِمِطْهَرَتِهِ إِلَى الْبَقَّالِ فَرَهَنَهَا فَجَاءَ بِسَعْتَرٍ فَأَلْقَاهُ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا أَكَلْنَا قَالَ صَاحِبِي الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي قَنَعَنَا بِمَا رَزَقَنَا فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ لَوْ قَنَعْتَ بِمَا رُزِقْتُ لَمْ تَكُنْ مِطْهَرَتِي مَرْهُونَةً عِنْدَ الْبَقَّالِ
