Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 134
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّ يَتِيمًا كَانَ يَحْضُرُ طَعَامَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، فَدَعَا بِطَعَامٍ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فَطَلَبَ يَتِيمَهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ، فَجَاءَ بَعْدَ مَا فَرَغَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، فَدَعَا لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بِطَعَامٍ، لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُمْ، فَجَاءَه بِسَوِيقٍ وَعَسَلٍ، فَقَالَ: دُونَكَ هَذَا، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا غُبِنْتَ يَقُولُ الْحَسَنُ: وَابْنُ عُمَرَ وَاللَّهِ مَا غُبِنَ.

'Amr ibn Muhammad related to us: Hushaym related to us: Mansur informed us, from al-Hasan, that an orphan used to attend Ibn 'Umar's meals. One day he called for food and asked for the orphan, but could not find him. The orphan came after Ibn 'Umar had finished, so Ibn 'Umar called for food for him, but they had none. They brought him sawiq and honey, and he said: ‘Here, have this! By Allah, you have not lost out.’ Al-Hasan says: ‘By Allah, Ibn 'Umar was not the one who lost out.’

The food term سويق is retained in transliteration; it denotes a roasted-grain preparation. The closing word غُبِنَ evokes being cheated or losing out, and is rendered idiomatically here.
