English

Zayd ibn Aslam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: One day, Umar requested water, and he was brought water mixed with honey. He said: "It is pleasant, but I hear Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, reproaching 1 a people for their desires, saying: You exhausted your good things in your worldly life and enjoyed them [Al-Ahqaf: 20]. I fear our good deeds may have been hastened for us." So he did not drink it.
