28 - On the authority of Hamzah bin Suhaib on the authority of his father who said that Umar said to Suhaib: You are a great man but would that you didn’t have three characteristics! He asked: And what are they? He answered: You have taken a kuniya (nickname) but you don't have a son. You ascribe yourself to the Arabs but you are from Rome and you waste food. Suhaib replied: As for your saying: “You have taken a kuniya (nickname) but you don't have a son”, rather the Messenger of Allaah - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – gave me a kuniya, Abu Yahya. As for your saying: that I ascribed my self to the Arabs and that I'm not from them but that I'm from Rome. Rather, I am a person from an-Nimar bin Qaasit and I was taken as a prisoner from Mousil to Rome while I was a child and knew my lineage. As for your saying: that I waste food.

No. 3350
