English Translation

It was narrated — via Bahz, from Shu'ba, from Jabala — that he said: 'We were in Medina as part of an Iraqi contingent. A year of hardship struck us, and 'Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr began providing us with dates [as rations]. 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar used to pass by us and say: "Do not eat two dates at a time [al-qiran — eating two together in one bite] — for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade al-qiran, unless a man asks permission of his companion."'
