muslim:2977aQutaybah b. Saʿīd And ʾAbū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ > Simāk > al-Nuʿmān b. Bashīr

Don't you eat and drink according to your heart's desire, whereas I saw that your Prophet ﷺ (at times) could not find even an inferior quality of the dates with which he could fill his belly? Qutaiba, however, did not make a mention of It.  

مسلم:٢٩٧٧aحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ أَلَسْتُمْ فِي طَعَامٍ وَشَرَابٍ مَا شِئْتُمْ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ وَمَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلأُ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ وَقُتَيْبَةُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ بِهِ

الترمذي:٢٣٧٢حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ أَلَسْتُمْ فِي طَعَامٍ وَشَرَابٍ مَا شِئْتُمْ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ وَمَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلأُ بَطْنَهُ قَالَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَرَوَى أَبُو عَوَانَةَ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ وَرَوَى شُعْبَةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ

Don't you eat and drink according to your heart's desire, whereas I saw that your Prophet ﷺ (at times) could not find even an inferior quality of the dates with which he could fill his belly? Qutaiba, however, did not make a mention of It. (Using translation from Muslim 2977a)

سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ «السَّنَمُ فِي طَعَامٍ وَشَرَابٍ مَا شِئْتُمْ؛ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ مَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ»
