Food consisting of bread and meat was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, "Hand me the foreleg." A foreleg was handed to him, and he ate it.Yahya said, I only know it to be like this. Then he said, "Hand me the foreleg." Another foreleg was handed to him, and he ate it. Then he said, "Hand me the foreleg."Someone said, "Messenger of Allah, a sheep has only two forelegs."He replied, "By your father, had you remained silent, I would have continued to be handed a foreleg from it as long as I asked for one."Salim said, As for this part, no. I heard Abdullah bin Umar say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah forbids you from swearing by your fathers."
حدثنا إسماعيل حدثنا يحيى بن أبي إسحاق حدثني رجل من بني غفار في مجلس سالم بن عبد الله
أن رسول الله ﷺ أتي بطعام من خبز ولحم فقال ناولني الذراع فنوول ذراعا فأكلها قال يحيى لا أعلمه إلا هكذا ثم قال ناولني الذراع فنوول ذراعا فأكلها ثم قال ناولني الذراع فقال يا رسول الله إنما هما ذراعان فقال وأبيك لو سكت ما زلت أناول منها ذراعا ما دعوت به فقال سالم أما هذه فلا سمعت عبد الله بن عمر يقول قال رسول الله ﷺ إن الله تبارك وتعالى ينهاكم أن تحلفوا بآبائكم
