Abdullah bin Harith bin Naufal said: My father married me during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), so he invited a group of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to the wedding. Among those invited was Sayyiduna Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was elderly. He said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tear the meat with your teeth and eat it, for eating meat in this way is very delicious and very beneficial."
