Hammad ibn Abi Hanifah reported: I came to Dawud al-Ta’i, may Allah have mercy on him, and his door was fastened shut. I could hear him saying: You lusted after carrots so I fed you carrots, then you lusted after carrots and dates together and I will never let you eat them again! I entered and greeted him with peace only to find that he was censuring himself.

عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ قَالَ جِئْتُ دَاوُدَ الطَّائِيَّ رحمه الله وَالْبَابُ عَلَيْهِ مُصَفَّقٌ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ اشْتَهَيْتِ جَزَرًا فَأَطْعَمْتُكِ ثُمَّ اشْتَهَيْتِ جَزَرًا وَتَمْرًا آلَيْتُ أَنْ لَا تَأْكُلِيهِ أَبَدًا فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ وَسَلَّمْتُ وَدَخَلْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ يُعَاتِبُ نَفْسَهُ
