He said, "So, those executioners started mocking him, and they said to him, 'What do you see that these non-Arabs say? They say, 'Look at the food in front of him and what he does with this morsel.'" He said, "Indeed, I would not forsake what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding the saying of these non-Arabs. We were commanded that when a morsel falls from one of us, we should remove any harm from it and eat it." – Weak Chain

أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ كَانَ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ يَتَغَدَّى فَسَقَطَتْ لُقْمَتُهُ فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَمَاطَ مَا بِهَا مِنْ أَذًى ثُمَّ أَكَلَهَا

قال فَجَعَلَ أُولَئِكَ الدَّهَاقِينُ يَتَغَامَزُونَ بِهِ فَقَالُوا لَهُ مَا تَرَى مَا يَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَعَاجِمُ يَقُولُونَ انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَإِلَى مَا يَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ اللُّقْمَةِ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَدَعَ مَا سَمِعْتُ منْ رسولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَوْلِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَعَاجِمِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ إِذَا سَقَطَتْ لُقْمَةُ أَحَدِنَا أَنْ يُمِيطَ مَا بِهَا مِنَ الْأَذَى وَأَنْ يَأْكُلَهَا» – إسناده ضعيف
