Anas ibn Sirīn reported: I was with Anas ibn Mālik(may Allah be pleased with him) in the company of some Magians when a sweet was brought in a silver vessel, and Anas did not eat from it. The man was told to change the vessel, and he replaced it with a wooden bowl and brought it. Thereupon, he ate from it.

[Its chain of narrators is Hasan/Sound.] [Al-Bayhaqi]

Explanation

While Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) was in the company of some Magians, some type of sweet was served to him on a silver platter. However, he would not eat from it. So the hosts changed it to a wooden platter, and he ate therefrom.
