It is narrated from Maymun bin Mehran (may Allah have mercy on him) that I asked Nafi‘ (may Allah have mercy on him): Did Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) use to invite people to meals? He replied: (It was not his general practice, however) once one of his camels broke its leg, so we slaughtered it. Then he said: Gather the people of Madinah. Nafi‘ says: I said: O Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman! On what should I invite them? We do not have any bread. He replied: O Allah! All praise is for You. Here are the bones and here is the broth, or he said: broth and meat—whoever wishes may eat, and whoever wishes may leave it.
