حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَيْرٌ مَوْلَی آبِي اللَّحْمِ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ خَيْبَرَ مَعَ سَادَتِي فَکَلَّمُوا فِيَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِي فَقُلِّدْتُ سَيْفًا فَإِذَا أَنَا أَجُرُّهُ فَأُخْبِرَ أَنِّي مَمْلُوکٌ فَأَمَرَ لِي بِشَيْئٍ مِنْ خُرْثِيِّ الْمَتَاعِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد مَعْنَاهُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُسْهِمْ لَهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ کَانَ حَرَّمَ اللَّحْمَ عَلَی نَفْسِهِ فَسُمِّيَ آبِي اللَّحْمِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2730
Narrated Umayr, client of AbulLahm: I was present at Khaybar along with my masters who spoke about me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He ordered about me, and a sword was girded on me and I was trailing it. He was then informed that I was a slave. He, therefore, ordered that I should be given some inferior goods. Abu Dawud said: This means that he (the Prophet) did not allot a portion of the spoils. Abu Dawud said: Abu Ubaid said: As he (the narrator Abi al-Lahm) made eating meat unlawful on himself, he was called Abi al-Lahm (one who hates meat).
