Translation

English translation

Abdullah bin Harith, may Allah have mercy on him, says that during the caliphate of Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, my father arranged my marriage and invited several companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to it. Among them was Safwan bin Umayyah, may Allah be pleased with him, who had become extremely old. When he came, he said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Tear the meat with your teeth and eat it, for it is more pleasant and easier to digest."
