وَعَن زيدِ بنِ أسلمَ قَالَ: اسْتَسْقَى يَوْمًا عُمَرُ فَجِيءَ بِمَاءٍ قَدْ شيبَ ⦗١٤٤٩⦘ بعسلٍ فَقَالَ: إِنَّه لطيِّبٌ لكني أَسْمَعُ اللَّهَ ﷿ نَعَى عَلَى قَوْمٍ شَهَوَاتِهِمْ فَقَالَ (أَذْهَبْتُمْ طَيِّبَاتِكُمْ فِي حَيَاتِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهَا) فَأَخَافُ أَنْ تَكُونَ حَسَنَاتُنَا عُجِّلَتْ لَنَا فَلَمْ يشربْه. رَوَاهُ رزين
Zayd ibn Aslam Narrated from:
One day Umar رضي الله عنه asked for drinking water. He was presented water that was mixed with honey. He said, "It is certainly pure water (lawful and pleasant), but I have heard Allah Mighty and Glorious, say reproaching a people for pursuing desires: أَذْهَبْتُمْ طَيِّبَاتِكُمْ وَفِي حَيَاتِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهَا [You dissipated your good things in your life of the world and you enjoyed their comfort...] (46: 20) (Now you do not have anything for you in the hereafter.) So, I fear that reward for our piety might be given to us in advance (in the world and we might get nothing in the next world)." Therefore, he did not drink it. [2]
