He (as a host) presented bread and something salty, and said: If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had not forbidden affectation, I would have made special arrangements for you. My friend said: If some mountain mint had been added to the salty dish (it would have been very good). He sent a jug-like vessel as collateral to the vegetable seller and had mint brought. When we had finished eating, my friend said: All praise is due to Allah who enabled us to be content with this provision. Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you had been content with your provision, my vessel would not have been left as collateral with the vegetable seller.
