Zahdam Al-Jarmi RA.says that we were present in the assembly of abu Musa Ash'ari Radiyallahu 'Anhu. Fowl meat was served for food. A, person from among those present, moved back. Abu Musa Radiyalahu 'Anhu asked him the reason (for doing so). He replied 'I had seen the fowl eat something (dirty) so I swore an oath that I will not eat it'. Abu Musa Radiyallahu 'Anhu said:
'In that case, I had seen Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam eat the meat of a fowl' (come and partake of it without fear. If it was not permissible or disliked, how did Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam eat it).
