حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، عَنْ فُلَيْحِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ، مِنْ بَنِي عَبَّادٍ يُقَالَ لَهُ: عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: مَا كَانَتِ الذِّرَاعُ أَحَبَّ اللَّحْمِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ لا يَجِدُ اللَّحْمَ إِلا غِبًّا، وَكَانَ يَعْجَلُ إِلَيْهَا، لأَنَّهَا أَعْجَلُهَا نُضْجًا.

Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Za‘farani narrated to us; he said: Yahya ibn ‘Abbad narrated to us, from Fulayh ibn Sulayman, who said: A man from Banu ‘Abbad, named ‘Abd al-Wahhab ibn Yahya ibn ‘Abbad, told me, from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, from ‘A’ishah, who said: The foreleg was not the meat most beloved to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Rather, he would only find meat at intervals, and he would hurry to the foreleg because it cooked faster than the other cuts.

وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ لا يَجِدُ اللَّحْمَ إِلا غِبًّا،
غبًّا can describe something occurring intermittently or at intervals; the exact frequency is not specified.
Is ‘at intervals’ the preferred rendering here, or does this context support another sense?
