עולא איקלע לבבל. חזי מלא צנא דתמרי בזוזא. אמר מלא צנא דדובשא בזוזא ובבלאי לא עסקי באורייתא. בליליא צערוהו. אמר מלא צנא דסכינא בזוזא ובבלאי עסקי באורייתא.

תלמוד בבלי, תענית ט:
רש”י תענית ט:, ד”ה צערוהו

Ulah came to Babylonia. He saw that a basket full of dates is selling for only a Zuz. He said, “A basket full of honey sells for only a Zuz, but the Babylonians are still not studying enough Torah!” That night he had pain from diarrhea. He said, “A basket full of knives for only a Zuz, but the Babylonians are still studying plenty of Torah!”

Talmud Bavli, Taanit 9b.
Rashi Taanit 9b, d.h. Tzaaruhu.
