Muwatta Malik #1824
The Description of the Prophet, may Allah Bless Him and Grant Him Peace
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Umar ibn
al-Khattab was eating bread with ghee. He summoned one of the desert
people and he began to eat and follow the grease in the dish with a
morsel of bread. Umar said, "It is as if you were poor." He said, "By
Allah. I have not eaten ghee nor have I seen food with it since such-
and-such a time." Umar declared, "I shall not eat clarified butter
until people are given life again like they were first given life,"
(i.e. on the Day of Rising.)
