Ibn Shihab says: One day I was sitting with Abu Idris Khawlani and he was conversing. So he said: Shall I not tell you who among the people used to consume the best food? When he saw that the people were attentive to him, he said: Yahya bin Zakariya (peace be upon him) used to consume the best food. His practice was that he would eat and drink in the company of animals, because he disliked being a partner in people's (unlawful) earnings.
