حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ التَّمِيمِيِّ عَنْ زَهْدَمٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ قَالَ کُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي مُوسَی الأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ فَقَدَّمَ طَعَامَهُ وَقَدَّمَ فِي طَعَامِهِ لَحْمَ دَجَاجٍ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَيْمِ اللهِ أَحْمَرُ کَأَنَّهُ مَوْلًی قَالَ فَلَمْ يَدْنُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَی ادْنُ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم أَکَلَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ يَأْکُلُ شَيْئًا فَقَذِرْتُهُ فَحَلَفْتُ أَنْ لا أَطْعَمَهُ أَبَدًا
شمائل المحمدية / شمائل ترمزی · Hadith 147
Zahdam Al-Jarmi RA. says: "We were present in the company of Abu Musa Ash'ari. Food was presented to him in which there was fowl meat also. Among those present was a person from the tribe of Banu Taymillah who was reddish in colour and seemed a freed slave. He moved back and sat on one side. Abu Musa asked him to come near (and partake of the food) and related to him that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam also ate the meat of a fowl. He excused himself saying: 'I had seen it eating such a thing which makes me dislike eating it. For this reason I had sworn an oath that I shall not eat it"'.
