CHAPTER 6 – THE CARROT
1- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع يَقُولُ أَكْلُ الْجَزَرِ يُسَخِّنُ الْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَ يُقِيمُ الذَّكَرَ
(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – from one of our companions, from the one who mentioned it, from Dawood Bin Farqad who said,
‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan-asws saying: ‘Eating the carrots warms up the kidneys and healthy for the manhood’.
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ كَيْفَ آكُلُهُ وَ لَيْسَ لِي أَسْنَانٌ فَقَالَ مُرِ الْجَارِيَةَ تَسْلُقْهُ وَ كُلْهُ.
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, and how can I eat it and there are no teeth for me?’ He-asws said: ‘Instruct the maid to boil it and eat it’’.[1]
2 وَ مِنْهُ، رَوَى بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا أَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ جَزَرٌ فَنَاوَلَنِي جَزَرَةً فَقَالَ كُلْ فَقُلْتُ لَيْسَتْ لِي طَوَاحِنُ
And from him,
‘One of our companions reported that Dawood said, ‘I entered to see him-asws and in front of him-asws were carrots. He-asws gave me a carrot. He-asws said: ‘Eat!’ I said, ‘There are no grinders (teeth) for me’.
فَقَالَ أَ مَا لَكَ جَارِيَةٌ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ مُرْهَا تَسْلُقْهُ لَكَ وَ كُلْ فَإِنَّهُ يُسَخِّنُ الْكُلْيَتَيْنِ وَ يُقِيمُ الذَّكَرَ.
He-asws said: ‘Is there a maid for you?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Instruct her to boil it for you and eat for it would warm up the kidneys and erects the penis’’.[2]
3 الْمَكَارِمُ، عَنْهُ ع مِثْلَهُ قَالَ وَ قَالَ الْجَزَرُ أَمَانٌ مِنَ الْقُولَنْجِ وَ الْبَوَاسِيرِ وَ يُعِينُ عَلَى الْجِمَاعِ.
(The book) ‘Al-Makarim’ –
‘From him-asws, similar to it. He (the narrator) said, ‘And he-asws said: ‘(Eating) the carrot is a safety from the colic and the haemorrhoids and assists upon the virility’’.[3]
4 الْخَرَائِجُ، قَالَ: كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ع مِضْيَافاً فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ يَوْماً قَوْمٌ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَخَذْتُ خَشَبَ الدَّارِ وَ بِعْتُهُ مِنَ النَّجَّارِ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْحَتُهُ صَنَماً وَثَناً فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ
(The book) ‘Al Kharaij’ –
He-asws said: ‘Ibrahim-as was a hosting man. One day a group descended to him-as and there did not happen to be anything in his-as possession. He-as said: ‘If I-as were to take the plank of the door and sell it to the carpenter, he would carve out an idol’. So he-as did not do so.
فَخَرَجَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَنْزَلَهُمْ فِي دَارِ الضِّيَافَةِ وَ مَعَهُ إِزَارٌ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ وَ لَمْ يَجِدِ الْإِزَارَ عَلِمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَيَّأَ أَسْبَابَهُ
After having lodged them is the guest house, he-as went to a place and prayed two cycles Salat, and with him-as was a shawl with him-as. When he-as was free and could not find the shawl, he‑as knew that Allah-azwj had Prepared its cause.
فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ دَارَهُ رَأَى سَارَةَ تَطْبُخُ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ لَهَا أَنَّى لَكِ هَذَا قَالَتْ هَذَا الَّذِي بَعَثْتَهُ عَلَى يَدِ الرَّجُلِ
When he-as entered his-as house, he-as saw Sarah-as cooking something. He-as said to her-as: ‘From where is this for you-as?’ She-as said: ‘This is which you-as had sent upon the hand of a man’.
وَ كَانَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ أَمَرَ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ الرَّمْلَ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي صَلَّى فِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَ يَجْعَلَهُ فِي إِزَارِهِ وَ الْحِجَارَةَ الْمُلْقَاةَ هُنَاكَ أَيْضاً فَفَعَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ذَلِكَ وَ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الرَّمْلَ جَاوَرْساً مُقَشَّراً وَ الْحِجَارَةَ الْمُدَوَّرَةَ شَلْجَماً وَ الْمُسْتَطِيلَ جَزَراً.
And Allah-azwj the Glorious had Commanded Jibraeel-as to take the sand which was in the place in which Ibrahim-as had prayed in and make it to be in his-as shawl, and the stones lying over there as well. Jibraeel-as did that, and Allah-azwj had Made the sand to be peeled millet, and the round stones as turnips, and the long ones as carrots’’.[4]

3- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِنِّي لَأَلْعَقُ أَصَابِعِي مِنَ المأدم [الْأُدْمِ] حَتَّى أَخَافَ أَنْ يَرَى خَادِمِي أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ جَشَعٍ وَ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ إِنَّ قَوْماً أُفْرِغَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَ هُمْ أَهْلُ الثَّرْثَارِ فَعَمَدُوا إِلَى مُخِّ الْحِنْطَةِ فَجَعَلُوهُ خُبْزاً هَجَّاءً فَجَعَلُوا يُنَجُّونَ بِهِ صِبْيَانَهُمْ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ جَبَلٌ
(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Amro Bin Shimr who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘I-asws tend to lick my-asws fingers from the sauce until I-asws fear that my-asws servant would view that it is from greed, and it isn’t like that. A people, the bountied had been Poured upon them, and they were the people of (river) Al-Sarsar. They deliberated to the wheat marrow and made it as satiating bread. They went on to wipe their backsides of their children with it to the extent that, a mountain had collected from that.
فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ وَ هِيَ تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ بِصَبِيٍّ لَهَا فَقَالَ وَيْحَكُمُ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرْ مَا بِكُمْ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَقَالَتْ كَأَنَّكَ تُخَوِّفُنَا بِالْجُوعِ أَمَّا مَا دَامَ ثَرْثَارُنَا يَجْرِي فَإِنَّا لَا نَخَافُ الْجُوعَ
A righteous man passed by a woman while she was doing that with a child of hers. He said, ‘Woe be unto you all! Fear Allah-azwj that He-azwj may not Change the bounties what are with you!’ She said, ‘It is as if you are scaring us of the hunger. But, for as long as our Sarsar (river) is flowing, we do not fear the hunger’’.
قَالَ فَأَسِفَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ضَعَّفَ لَهُمُ الثَّرْثَارَ وَ حَبَسَ عَنْهُمْ قَطْرَ السَّمَاءِ وَ نَبْتَ الْأَرْضِ
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made was Wrathful and Weakened the (river) Al Sarsar for them and Withheld the drops of the sky from them and the vegetation of the earth’.
قَالَ فَاحْتَاجُوا إِلَى مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ فَأَكَلُوهُ ثُمَّ احْتَاجُوا إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَبَلِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَيُقَسَّمُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْمِيزَانِ.
He-asws said: ‘They became needy to what was in their hands and ate it. Then they became needy to that mountain, and they were apportioning it between them with the scale’’.[177]
3- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّمَا بُنِيَ الْجَسَدُ عَلَى الْخُبْزِ.

And from him, from his father, from one of the people of Al Kufa, raising it, said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Honour the bread and revere it, for Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted has Sent down Blessings for it from the sky and Brings forth the blessings of the earth from its prestige. It should neither be cut (with a knife) nor trod upon’’.[179]
5- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: أَكْرِمُوا الْخُبْزَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ عَمِلَ فِيهِ مَا بَيْنَ الْعَرْشِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا.

(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – from his father, from Abu Al Bakhtari, raising it, said,

And from him, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Fazl Al-Nowfaly, ,from Al Fazl Bin Yunus who said,
‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws had lunch with me. They came with a basked and the bread was beneath it. He-asws said: ‘Honour the bread by it (bowl) being beneath it’. He-asws said: ‘Instruct the slave to extract the loaf from beneath the bowl’’.[182]
8- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنِ الْمُثَنَّى عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يُوضَعَ الرَّغِيفُ تَحْتَ الْقَصْعَةِ.

9- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُثَنًّى عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يُوضَعَ الرَّغِيفُ تَحْتَ الْقَصْعَةِ وَ نَهَى عَنْهُ.
And from him, from Ibn Fazzal, from Musanna, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having dislike placing the loaf beneath the bowl and forbade from it’’.[184]
10- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ أَبِي يُوسُفَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ الْعَمِّيِّ عَنْ إِدْرِيسَ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ع لَا تَقْطَعُوا الْخُبْزَ بِالسِّكِّينِ وَ لَكِنِ اكْسِرُوهُ بِالْيَدِ وَ لْيُكْسَرْ لَكُمْ خَالِفُوا الْعَجَمَ.
And from him, from Abu Yusuf, from Muhammad Bin Jamhour Al Amma, from Idrees Bin Yusuf,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Do not cut the bread with the knife, but break it with the hand, and let your breaking oppose the non-Arabs’’.[185]
11- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ بِقَطْعِ الْخُبْزِ بِالسِّكِّينِ.
(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Bashir, raising it, said.
‘There is no problem with cutting the bread with the knife’’.[186]
12- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ السَّيَّارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِدَامٌ قَطَعَ الْخُبْزَ بِالسِّكِّينِ.
And from him, from Al Sayyari, from Abu Ali Bin Rashid, raising it to,
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘It was so, whenever Amir Al-Momineen-asws did not happen to have a sauce for him-asws, would cut the bread with the knife’’.[187]
13- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مِنْ أَدْنَى الْإِدَامِ قَطْعُ الْخُبْزِ بِالسِّكِّينِ.
And from him, from one of his companions, raising it to,
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘From the least dip sauces, is cutting the bread with the knife’’.[188]
بيان جعل القطع مقام الإدام إما لأنه يصير ألذ فيفعل فعل الإدام أو يصير شبيها بالإدام فكأنه يخدع الطبيعة به و على أي حال يدل على جواز قطع الخبز بالسكين مع فقد الإدام و في غيره كأن المنع محمول على الكراهة و إن كان الأحوط الترك قال في الدروس و يكره قطع الخبز بالسكين و لم يستثن هذه الصورة و كأنه حملها على تخفيف الكراهة.
Explanation – The cutting is made to be in place of the sauce because it becomes pleasurable (when cut), so it does the work of the sauce, or it becomes a resemblance with the sauce. It is as if the nature is deceived by it. And based upon whichever state, it evidence’s upon the allowance of cutting the bread with the knife with the loss of the sauce, and in others. It is as if the forbiddance is carried upon the dislike, and even if the leaving was precautionary. He said in (the book) ‘Al Durous’, ‘And it is dislike to cut the bread with the knife’, and did not exclude this situation, and it is as if he carried it upon lightening the dislike.

And from him, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from the Prophet-saww: ‘Honour the bread, for there have worked in it what is between the Throne to the earth and whatever is therein from many of His-azwj creatures’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ أَ لَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِدَاكَ الْآبَاءُ وَ الْأُمَّهَاتُ
Then he-saww said to the ones around him-asws: ‘Shall I-saww narrate to you all?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww, may the fathers and the mothers be sacrificed for you-saww!’
فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ نَبِيٌّ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ دَانِيَالُ وَ إِنَّهُ أَعْطَى صَاحِبَ مِعْبَرٍ رَغِيفاً لِكَيْ يَعْبُرَ بِهِ فَرَمَى صَاحِبُ الْمِعْبَرِ بِالرَّغِيفِ وَ قَالَ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِالْخُبْزِ هَذَا الْخُبْزُ عِنْدَنَا قَدْ يُدَاسُ بِالْأَرْجُلِ
He-saww said: ‘There was a Prophet-as among the ones who were before you all called Daniyal‑as and he-as gave a loaf to an owner of the crossing point in order to pass through with it. The owner of the crossing threw the bread and said, ‘What shall I do with the bread. With us, this bread is trampled with the legs!’
فَلَمَّا رَأَى دَانِيَالُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ رَفَعَ يَدَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَكْرِمِ الْخُبْزَ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتَ يَا رَبِّ مَا صَنَعَ هَذَا الْعَبْدُ وَ مَا قَالَ
When Daniyal-as saw that from him, he-as raised his-as hands towards the sky, then said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Honour the bread, for You-azwj have Seen, O Lord-azwj, what this servant has done, and what he said!’’
قَالَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ أَنْ يَحْبِسَ الْغَيْثَ وَ أَوحَى إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَنْ كُونِي طَبَقاً كَالْفَخَّارِ
He-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed to the sky: “Withhold the rains!” And Revealed to the earth: “Be layered like the pottery!”’
قَالَ فَلَمْ يُمْطَرُوا حَتَّى إِنَّهُ بَلَغَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ أَنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ أَكَلَ بَعْضاً فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مِنْهُمْ مَا أَرَادَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِأُخْرَى وَ لَهُمَا وَلَدَانِ يَا فُلَانَةُ تَعَالَيْ حَتَّى نَأْكُلَ أَنَا وَ أَنْتِ الْيَوْمَ وَلَدِي فَإِذَا جُعْنَا غَداً أَكَلْنَا وَلَدَكِ قَالَتْ لَهَا نَعَمْ
He-saww said: ‘So it did not rain to the extent that it reached from their affairs that some of them ate others. When it had reached from them what the Mighty and Majestic Wanted from that, a woman said to another, and there were two sons for them, ‘O so and so until I and you eat my son. When we are hungry tomorrow, we shall eat your son!’ She said to her, ‘Yes’.
فَأَكَلَتَاهُ فَلَمَّا أَنْ جَاعَتَا مِنْ بَعْدُ رَاوَدَتِ الْأُخْرَى عَلَى أَكْلِ وَلَدِهَا فَامْتَنَعَتْ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكِ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ
They ate him. When they were hungry afterwards, the other one sought to eat her child, but she refused to her. She said, ‘Between me and you is the Prophet-as of Allah-azwj (as judge)!’
فَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَى دَانِيَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا وَ قَدْ بَلَغَ إِلَى مَا أَرَى قَالَتَا لَهُ نَعَمْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَ أَشَدَّ
They brought the dispute to Daniyal-as. He-as said to them: ‘And it has reached to what I-as see?’ They said to him-as, ‘Yes, O Prophet-as of Allah-saww, and severer!’
فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ عُدْ عَلَيْنَا بِفَضْلِكَ وَ فَضْلِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ لَا تُعَاقِبِ الْأَطْفَالَ وَ مَنْ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ بِذَنْبِ صَاحِبِ الْمِعْبَرِ وَ أَضْرَابِهِ لِنِعْمَتِكَ
He-as raised his-as hands towards the sky. He-as said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Return upon us with Your-azwj Grave and Grace of Your-azwj Mercy, and do not Punish the children and the one having goodness in him due to the sin of the owner of the crossing point and his stoppage for Your‑azwj bounty!’’
قَالَ فَأَمَرَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ أَنْ أَمْطِرِي عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ أَمَرَ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ أَنْبِتِي لِخَلْقِي مَا قَدْ فَاتَهُمْ مِنْ خَيْرِكَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَحِمْتُهُمْ بِالطِّفْلِ الصَّغِيرِ.
He-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Commanded to the sky: “Rain upon the earth!” And Commanded the earth: “Grow for My-azwj creature what had been lost to them from your goodness, for I-azwj have Mercied them due to the small children!”’[196]

(The book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yaqoub Bin Yaqteen who said,
‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Make your loaves to be smaller for there are Blessings with every loaf!’
وَ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ يَقْطِينٍ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ يَعْنِي الرِّضَا ع يَكْسِرُ الرَّغِيفَ إِلَى فَوْقُ.
And Yaqoub Bin Yaqteen said, ‘I saw Abu Al-Hassan-asws, meaning Al-Reza-asws, breaking the loaf to above’’.[197]
بيان كسره إلى فوق يحتمل وجهين الأول و هو الأظهر أن يكون المعنى كسر اليابس بعطف اليدين إلى جانب التحت لينكسر الخبز من جهة الفوق و الثاني أن يكون المراد كسر الرطب بابتدائه من الجانب الأسفل و خرقه إلى الأعلى.
Explanation – ‘Breaking it to above’, has two possible aspects. The first, and it is more apparent, is the meaning happens to be breaking the dry by inclining the hands to a lower side in order to break the bread from the higher direction. And the second is that the intent would be breaking the wetness by beginning it from the lower side and breaking it to higher.

CHAPTER 2 – THE HONEY
الآيات
The Verses
النحل وَ أَوْحى رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبالِ بُيُوتاً وَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَ مِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ
And your Lord Revealed unto the bee saying: “Take houses from the mountains and from the trees and from what they are constructing [16:68].
ثُمَّ كُلِي مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَراتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بُطُونِها شَرابٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوانُهُ فِيهِ شِفاءٌ لِلنَّاسِ إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
Then eat from all the fruits and travel the Way of your Lord submissively’. There comes out from their bellies a drink of different colours wherein is healing for the people. Surely in that there is a Sign for a thinking people” [16:69].
تفسير
(Forbidden) Interpretation (opinionated)
أقول قد مر تفسيرها في باب النحل و جملته أن الوحي إما إلهام من الله أو كناية عن جعله ذلك في غرائزها
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It’s interpretation has already passed in the chapter on the bees and its summary is that the ‘Revelation’ (to the bee) is either an Inspiration from Allah-azwj or a metaphor about Making it to be in its purpose.
وَ مِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ الضمير للناس و المراد بالعرش رفع البناء كالسقوف و الكروم
and from what they are constructing [16:68] – the pronoun is for the people and the intent with the construction is raising the building like that of the roofs and the vines.
ذُلُلًا جمع ذلول و هي حال من السبل أو من الضمير في فَاسْلُكِي
Submissively [16:69], is a plural of the submission, and it is a state of the ways, or from the pronoun in and travel [16:69].
فِيهِ شِفاءٌ لِلنَّاسِ إما بنفسه كما في بعض الأمراض البلغمية أو مع غيره كما في سائر الأمراض إذ قلما يوجد معجون لم يكن العسل جزءا منه مع أن التنكير يشعر بالتبعيض و يجوز أن يكون للتعظيم و التكثير و قيل الضمير للقرآن و هو بعيد.
wherein is healing for the people [16:69] – either by itself, like what is in some of the phlegmatic illnesses or with something else, like what is in rest of the illnesses, because there is hardly any paste (kneaded) and the honey does not happen to be a part of it, along with that the denial indicates with the part and it is allowed that it would be for the reverence and the multiplying. And it is said, ‘The pronoun is for the Quran’, and it is far-fetched.
إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ لَآيَةً إلخ فإن من تفكر في أحوال النحل و أفعاله و وجود العسل و كيفية حصوله علم قطعا أن الله سبحانه هو المعلم له و أنه قادر مختار حكيم عليم متصف بجميع صفات الكمال و ليس فيه نقص بوجه
Surely in that there is a Sign [16:69], etc. The one who ponders regarding the situations of the bee and its work, and existence of the honey and the mode of its resulting, would know definitely know that Allah-azwj the Glorious, He-azwj is the Teacher of it, and He-azwj is Able, Choosing, Wise, All-Knowing, attributed with entirety of the perfect Attributes, and there isn’t in it any deficiency of an aspect.
و فيها دلالة على حل العسل بل الشمع فإنه قل ما ينفك عنه و جواز اتخاذ النحل للعسل ما لم يمنع منه مانع شرعي و جواز الاستشفاء منه مفردا و مركبا
And in it there is evidence upon the release of the honey, but the wax, for it is little what you can benefit from, and the allowance of keeping the bees for the honey for as long as a legal impediment does not prevent from it, and the permissibility of the healing from it, simple and compound (honey).
و أن الله يشفي بالدواء و إن كان قادرا عليه بغيره لحكمة في ذلك و جواز طلب علم الطب بل علم الكلام و التفكر في الأفعال و الأعمال و الاستدلال بها على وجود الواجب و صفاته و الحسن و القبح العقليين و غير ذلك كذا ذكره بعض الأفاضل و في بعضها مجال مناقشة.
And Allah-azwj Heals with the medication and even though He-azwj is Able upon it without it due to Wisdom in that, and permissibility of seeking the knowledge of the medicine. But He-azwj Taught the speech, and the pondering in the deeds and the works, and the evidencing by it upon the Obligatory existence, and His-azwj Attributes, and the bad and the ugly intellects, and other than that. Like that is mentioned by one of the meritorious ones, and in part of areas of discussion’.
1- مَجْمَعُ الْبَيَانِ، نَقْلًا عَنِ الْعَيَّاشِيِّ مَرْفُوعاً إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي مُوجَعٌ بَطْنِي فَقَالَ أَ لَكَ زَوْجَةٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ اسْتَوْهِبْ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً مِنْ مَالِهَا طَيِّبَةً نَفْسُهَا ثُمَّ اشْتَرِ بِهِ عَسَلًا ثُمَّ اسْكُبْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَاءِ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ اشْرَبْهُ

I-asws heard Allah-azwj the Glorious Saying in His-azwj Book: And We Send down Blessed water from the sky, [50:9], and Said: from their bellies a drink of different colours wherein is healing for the people. [16:69] and Said: but if they remit for you something from it themselves, then consume it enjoying wholesomely [4:4]; and when the Blessings and the healing and the wholesomeness gather, you will be healed if Allah-azwj so Desires’’.[262]

And from (the non-Shia book) – from Anas (a well-known fabricator), said,

(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – from his father, from one of our companions who said,
‘A woman raised spun yarn to me. She said, ‘Hand it over in Makkah for a covering of the Kabah to be sewn with it’’.
قَالَ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَدْفَعَهُ إِلَى الْحَجَبَةِ وَ أَنَا أَعْرِفُهُمْ فَلَمَّا صِرْتُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ دَخَلْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ امْرَأَةً أَعْطَتْنِي غَزْلًا وَ حَكَيْتُ لَهُ قَوْلَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَ كَرَاهَتِي لِدَفْعِ الْغَزْلِ إِلَى الْحَجَبَةِ
He (the narrator) said: ‘I disliked to hand it to the guards, and I knew them (as corrupt). When I came to Al-Medina, I entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws. I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! A woman gave me spun yarn’, and I narrated the words of the woman to him-asws, and of my abhorrence of handing the spun yarn to the guards (of the Kabah).
فَقَالَ اشْتَرِ بِهِ عَسَلًا وَ زَعْفَرَاناً وَ خُذْ مِنْ طِينِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ اعْجِنْهُ بِمَاءِ السَّمَاءِ وَ اجْعَلْ فِيهِ شَيْئاً مِنْ عَسَلٍ وَ زَعْفَرَانٍ وَ فَرِّقْهُ عَلَى الشِّيعَةِ لِيَتَدَاوَوْا بِهِ مَرْضَاهُمْ.
He-asws said: ‘Buy honey and saffron with it and taken clay from the grave of Al-Husayn-asws and knead it with water of the sky and make something from the honey and saffron to be in it and distribute it upon the Shias for them to be medicating their sick ones with it’’.[289]
16- فِقْهُ الرِّضَا، قَالَ الْعَالِمُ ع عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْعَسَلِ وَ حَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ
(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza-asws’ – the scholar-asws said: ‘Upon you all is with the honey and the black seeds’.
وَ قَالَ الْعَسَلُ شِفَاءٌ فِي ظَاهِرِ الْكِتَابِ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
And he-asws said: ‘The honey is a healing in the apparent of the Book just as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said’.
وَ قَالَ ع فِي الْعَسَلِ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ مَنْ لَعِقَ لَعْقَةَ عَسَلٍ عَلَى الرِّيقِ يَقْطَعُ الْبَلْغَمَ وَ يَكْسِرُ الصَّفْرَاءَ وَ يَقْطَعُ الْمِرَّةَ السَّوْدَاءَ وَ يَصْفُو الذِّهْنَ وَ يُجَوِّدُ الْحِفْظَ إِذَا كَانَ مَعَ اللُّبَانِ الذَّكَرِ.
And he-asws said regarding the honey: ‘Healing from every illness, and the one who licks a lick of honey upon the empty stomach, it would cut the phlegm, and break the yellowness (jaundice), and cuts the black bile, and cleans the brain, and improve the memory when it was with the male frankincense’’.[290]

Al-Ayyashi – From Abu Baseer,

(The book) ‘Al-Makarim’ –
‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘The honey is a healing from every illness and there is no illness in it. It reduces the phlegm and polishes the heart’’.[292]

And from Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made the Blessings to be in the honey, and in it is healing from the pains, and seventy Prophets-as have blessed upon it’’.[293]

(The book) ‘Kitab Al Imamat Wa Al Tabsira’ – from Sahl Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Ash’as,
‘From Musa Bin Ismail son of Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The honey is a healing. It expels the wind and the fever’’.[294]
20 حَيَاةُ الْحَيَوَانِ، اعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى جَمَعَ فِي النَّحْلَةِ السَّمَّ وَ الْعَسَلَ دَلِيلًا عَلَى كَمَالِ قُدْرَتِهِ وَ أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا الْعَسَلَ مَمْزُوجاً بِالشَّمْعِ وَ كَذَلِكَ عَمَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَمْزُوجٌ بِالْخَوْفِ وَ الرَّجَاءِ وَ فِي الْعَسَلِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْيَاءَ الشِّفَاءُ وَ الْحَلَاوَةُ وَ اللِّينُ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْمُؤْمِنُ
(The non-Shia book) ‘Hayaat Al Haywan’ –
‘Know that Allah-azwj the Glorious and Exalted Gathered in the bee, the poison, and the honey, as evidence upon the perfection of His-azwj Power and Extracted the honey from it mixed with the wax, and like that the Momin works mixed with the fear and the hope, and in the honey, there are three things – the healing, and the sweetness, and the softness, and like that is the Momin.
قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى- ثُمَّ تَلِينُ جُلُودُهُمْ وَ قُلُوبُهُمْ إِلى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الشَّبَابِ خِلَافُ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْكَهْلِ وَ الشَّيْخِ وَ كَذَلِكَ حَالُ الْمُقْتَصِدِ وَ السَّابِقِ
Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: Then their skins and their hearts become soft to the Zikr of Allah. [39:23] and Extracted from the youths different to what He-azwj Extracted from the elderly and the aged old, and like that is the state of the moderate, and the foremost.
وَ أَمَرَهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِأَكْلِ الْحَلَالِ حَتَّى صَارَ لُعَابُهَا شِفَاءً وَ كُلُّ ذُبَابٍ فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا النَّحْلَ وَ دَوَاءُ اللَّهِ حُلْوٌ وَ هُوَ الْعَسَلُ وَ دَوَاءُ الْأَطِبَّاءِ مُرٌّ
And Allah-azwj the Exalted Commanded it to eat the Permissible until its saliva becomes a healing, and every fly would be in the Fire except the bee, and the medicine of Allah-azwj is sweet, and it is the honey, and medicine of the physicians are bitter.
وَ هِيَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَجَرٍ وَ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا الْحُلْوُ وَ لَا يُغَيِّرُهَا اخْتِلَافُ مَآكِلِهَا- وَ الْبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَباتُهُ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِ
And it eats from every tree and does not extract from it except the sweet, and the different (things) what it eats does not change it. And (as for) the good land, its vegetation comes out by the permission of its Lord, [7:58].
وَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِ شِفاءٌ لِلنَّاسِ لَا يَقْتَضِي الْعُمُومَ لِكُلِّ عِلَّةٍ وَ فِي كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ لِأَنَّهُ نَكِرَةٌ وَ لَيْسَ فِي سِيَاقِ النَّفْيِ بَلْ إِنَّهُ خَبَرٌ عَنْ أَنَّهُ يَشْفِي كَمَا يَشْفِي غَيْرُهُ مِنَ الْأَدْوِيَةِ فِي حَالٍ دُونَ حَالٍ
And the Words of the Exalted: wherein is healing for the people. [16:69], is not a general requirement for every illness and in every human being, because it is a denial, and there isn’t the negation in context, but it is a News about that it will heal like what others from the medications heal, in a state besides a state.
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَشْكُو شَيْئاً إِلَّا تَدَاوَى بِالْعَسَلِ حَتَّى كَانَ يَدْهُنُ بِهِ الدُّمَّلَ وَ الْقَرْحَةَ وَ يَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَ هَذَا يَقْتَضِي أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى الْعُمُومِ
And from Ibn Umar (non-Shia source), he had not complained of anything except he had medicated with the honey, to the extent that he would massage the boils and the ulcers with it, and he would recite this Verse, and this requires that it would carry upon the generality.
وَ رَوَى ابْنُ مَاجَةَ وَ الْحَاكِمُ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ الْعَسَلُ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ الْقُرْآنُ شِفَاءٌ لِمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالشِّفَاءَيْنِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ الْعَسَلِ
And it is reported by Ibn Maja and Al-Hakim, from Ibn Masoud (non-Shia source) that the Prophet-saww said: ‘The honey is a healing from every illness and the Quran is a healing of what is in the chests, so upon you all is with the two healers, the Quran and the honey’.
وَ حَكَى النَّقَّاشُ عَنْ أَبِي وَجْزَةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْتَحِلُ بِالْعَسَلِ وَ يَتَدَاوَى بِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ سُقْمٍ وَ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ مَرِضَ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِمَاءٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ- وَ نَزَّلْنا مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً مُبارَكاً ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْتُونِي بِعَسَلٍ وَ قَرَأَ الْآيَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْتُونِي بِزَيْتٍ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ فَخَلَطَ الْجَمِيعَ ثُمَّ شَرِبَهُ فَشُفِيَ.
And Al-Naqqash narrated from Abu Wajza that he used to apply with the honey as kohl and medicate with it from every disease. And it is reported as well from Awn Bin Malik he was sick, so he said, ‘Bring me water, for Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: And We Send down Blessed water from the sky, [50:9]’. Then he said, ‘Bring me the honey’, and he recited the Verse. Then he said, ‘Bring me the (olive) oil, for it is from a Blessed tree’. He mixed them all then drank it, and he was healed’’.[295] (non-Shia source, mostly opinion)
14 وَ رَوَى الْبُخَارِيُّ وَ مُسْلِمٌ وَ النَّسَائِيُّ وَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَخِي اسْتَطْلَقَ بَطْنُهُ فَقَالَ ص اسْقِهِ عَسَلًا فَسَقَاهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ قَدْ سَقَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَزِدْ إِلَّا اسْتِطْلَاقاً فَقَالَ ص اسْقِهِ عَسَلًا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ
And it is reported by Al Bukhari, and Muslim, and Al Nasaie, and Al Tirmizi, from Abu Saeed Al Khudry who said,
‘A man came to the Prophet-saww. He said, ‘My brother, his belly is free (diarrhoea)’. He-saww said: ‘Quench him honey’. He quenched him, then came to him-saww. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah‑saww! Based upon you-saww, I have quenched him, but it did not increase except in more diarrhoea’. He-saww said: ‘Quench him honey’. (It happened) three times.
ثُمَّ جَاءَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ فَقَالَ اسْقِهِ عَسَلًا قَالَ قَدْ سَقَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلَّا اسْتِطْلَاقاً فَقَالَ ص صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَ كَذَبَ بَطْنُ أَخِيكَ اسْقِهِ عَسَلًا فَسَقَاهُ فَبَرَأَ انْتَهَى.
Then he came during the fourth. He-saww said: ‘Quench him honey’. He said, ‘I have quenched him, but it did not increase him except more diarrhoea’. He-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Spoke the truth and your brother is lying. Quench him honey!’ He quenched him, and he was cured’ – end’’.[296] (From a non-Shia source)

A speaker said to him-asws, ‘They would be too pre-occupied on that Day from the eating and the drinking!’

He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj has Created the son of Adam-as as hollow, so there is no escape for him from the food and the drink. Would they be more pre-occupied on the Day or the ones in the Fire? They will be crying out for help and Allah-azwj would Say: And if they cry out for relief, they would be relieved by water like molten copper grilling their faces. Evil is the drink [18:29]’’.[363]

Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘In the Fire they will be in a severer occupation. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: And the inmates of the Fire shall call out to the dwellers of the Paradise, ‘Pour upon us some of the water or from what your Lord has Graced you all’ [7:50].

قال الطبرسي رحمه الله قال مقاتل يعني كفار مكة كانوا في الدنيا في الخير و النعمة فيسألون يوم القيامة عن شكر ما كانوا فيه إذا لم يشكروا رب النعيم حيث عبدوا غيره و أشركوا به ثم يعذبون على ترك الشكر
Al-Tabarsee, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, said, ‘Maqatil said, ‘It means the Kafirs of Makkah. In the world they were in goodness and the bounties, so they would be Questioned on the Day of Qiyamah about thanking for what they had been in, when they did not thank Lord-azwj of the bounties, whereby they worshipped someone else and associated with Him-azwj, then they would be Punished upon neglecting the thanks’.
و هذا قول الحسن قال لا يسأل عن النعيم إلا أهل النار
And this is a word of Al-Hassan. He said, ‘No one will be Questioned about the bounties except the people of the Fire’.
و قال الأكثرون إن المعنى ثم لتسألن يا معاشر المكلفين عن النعيم
And most of them said, ‘The meaning is, ‘Then, O community of the encumbered ones, you will be Questioned about the bounties’’.
قال قتادة إن الله مسائل كل ذي نعمة عما أنعم عليه
Qatadah said, ‘Allah-azwj will Question every one with a bounty about what He-azwj had Conferred upon him’.
و قيل عن النعيم في المأكل و المشرب و غيرهما من الملاذ عن ابن جبير
And it is said, ‘About the bounties regarding the food and the drinks and other such from the sanctuary’ – from Ibn Jubeyr.
و قيل النعيم الصحة و الفراغ عن عكرمة و يعضده ما رواه ابن عباس عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: نِعْمَتَانِ مَغْبُونٌ فِيهِمَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ الصِّحَّةُ وَ الْفَرَاغُ.
And it is said, ‘The bounty is the health, and free time’ – from Ikrimah. And it is supported by what is reported by Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet-saww: ‘Two bounties, most of the people are unappreciative – the health and the free time’’.
و قيل هو الأمن و الصحة عن ابن مسعود و مجاهد و روي ذلك عن أبي جعفر و أبي عبد الله ع
And it is said, ‘It is the safety and the health’- from Ibn Masoud and Mujahid. And that is reported from Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws.
و قيل يسأل عن كل نعيم إلا ما خصه الحديث و هو قَوْلُهُ ع ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يُسْأَلُ عَنْهَا الْعَبْدُ خِرْقَةٌ يُوَارِي بِهَا عَوْرَتَهُ أَوْ كِسْرَةٌ يَسُدُّ بِهَا جَوْعَتَهُ أَوْ بَيْتٌ يَكُنُّهُ مِنَ الْحَرِّ وَ الْبَرْدِ.
And it is said, ‘He-azwj will Question about every bounty except what the Hadeeth has specified, and it is his-asws word: ‘Three will not be Question about – The slave, of his cloth which he covers his nakedness with, or bread he had blocked his hunger with, or a house he had saved with from the heat and the cold’.
14 وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ بَعْضَ الصَّحَابَةِ أَضَافَ النَّبِيَّ ص مَعَ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَوَجَدُوا عِنْدَهُ تَمْراً وَ مَاءً بَارِداً فَأَكَلُوا فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا قَالَ هَذَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي يُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ.
And it is reported that one of the companions hosted the Prophet-saww along with a group of his-saww companions. They found with him, dates, and cold water, so they ate. When they went out, he-saww said: ‘This is from the bounties which they would be Questioned about’’.
6 وَ رَوَى الْعَيَّاشِيُّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ قَالَ: سَأَلَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا النَّعِيمُ عِنْدَكَ يَا نُعْمَانُ قَالَ الْقُوتُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَ الْمَاءُ الْبَارِدُ
And Al-Ayyashi reported by his chain in a lengthy Hadeeth, said, ‘Abu Haneefa asked Abu Abdullah-asws about this Verse. He-asws said to him: ‘What are the bounties in your view, O Nu’man?’ He said: ‘The daily subsistence, from the food and the cold water’.
فَقَالَ لَئِنْ أَوْقَفَكَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ أَكْلَةٍ أَكَلْتَهَا أَوْ شَرْبَةٍ شَرِبْتَهَا لَيَطُولَنَّ وُقُوفُكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ
He-asws said: ‘If Allah-azwj were to Pause you in front of Him-azwj on the Day of Qiyamah until He‑azwj Questioned you about the food you had eaten or a drink you had drunk, your pausing in front of Him-azwj would be prolonged’.
قَالَ فَمَا النَّعِيمُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ
He said, ‘So what are the bounties? May I be sacrificed for you-asws!’
قَالَ نَحْنُ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ النَّعِيمُ الَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ بِنَا عَلَى الْعِبَادِ وَ بِنَا ائْتَلَفُوا بَعْدَ أَنْ كَانُوا مُخْتَلِفِينَ وَ بِنَا أَلَّفَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ جَعَلَهُمْ إِخْوَاناً بَعْدَ أَنْ كَانُوا أَعْدَاءً وَ بِنَا هَدَاهُمُ اللَّهُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ وَ هِيَ النِّعْمَةُ الَّتِي لَا تَنْقَطِعُ وَ اللَّهُ سَائِلُهُمْ عَنْ حَقِّ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي أَنْعَمَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ هُوَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ عِتْرَتُهُ ع انْتَهَى.
He-asws said: ‘We-asws, People-asws of the Household are the bounties which Allah-azwj has Conferred upon the servants, with us-asws, and by us-asws they would be harmonised if they had been differing, and by us-asws Allah-azwj will Harmonise their hearts and Make them as brethren after they had been enemies, and by us-asws Allah-azwj will Guide them to Al Islam, and it is the bounty which will not terminate, and Allah-azwj will Question them about the rights of the bounties which He-azwj had Conferred with upon them, and it is the Prophet-saww and his-saww his-saww family-asws’ – end’’.

And he-asws said regarding words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Then you will be Questioned on that Day about the bounties [102:8]: ‘Allah-azwj is more Honourable than to Feed you food, then Question you all about it, but they would be Questioned about the bounties of Allah-azwj upon you all, with us-asws (our-asws rights which are upon you), did you recognise these and stood with its rights’’.[375]

فَقَالَ الرِّضَا ع وَ عَلَا صَوْتَهُ وَ كَذَا فَسَّرْتُمُوهُ أَنْتُمْ وَ جَعَلْتُمُوهُ عَلَى ضُرُوبٍ فَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ هُوَ الْمَاءُ الْبَارِدُ وَ قَالَ غَيْرُهُمْ هُوَ الطَّعَامُ الطَّيِّبُ وَ قَالَ آخَرُونَ هُوَ النَّوْمُ الطَّيِّبُ
Al-Reza-asws said: ‘And upon its outline, and like that you are interpreting and making it upon perspectives. A group said, ‘It is the cold water’. And others said, ‘It is the good food’. And others said, ‘It is the good sleep’.
وَ لَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّ أَقْوَالَكُمْ هَذِهِ ذُكِرَتْ عِنْدَهُ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- ثُمَّ لَتُسْئَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ
And my-asws father-asws narrated to me-asws, from his-asws father-asws Al-Sadiq-asws that these words of yours had been mentioned in his-asws presence regarding Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Then you will be Questioned on that Day about the bounties [102:8].
فَغَضِبَ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْأَلُ عِبَادَهُ عَمَّا تَفَضَّلَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا يَمُنُّ بِذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ الِامْتِنَانُ بِالْإِنْعَامِ مُسْتَقْبَحٌ مِنَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ فَكَيْفَ يُضَافُ إِلَى الْخَالِقِ مَا لَا يَرْضَى الْمَخْلُوقُونَ بِهِ
He-asws got angered and said: ‘Allah-azwj will not Question His-azwj servants about what He-azwj had Graced upon them with, nor Conferred upon them with that, and the Conferment with the bounties, and (seeking) the gratitude with the bounties is repugnant from the creatures, so how can it be added to the Creator what the creatures are not pleased with?
وَ لَكِنَّ النَّعِيمَ حُبُّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ مُوَالاتُنَا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عِبَادَهُ بَعْدَ التَّوْحِيدِ وَ النُّبُوَّةِ لِأَنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا وَافَاهُ بِذَلِكَ أَدَّاهُ إِلَى نَعِيمِ الْجَنَّةِ الَّذِي لَا يَزُولُ الْخَبَرَ.
But the bounties, is our love of People-asws of the Household, and our-asws Wilayah, Allah-azwj will Questioned His-azwj servants about it after (Questioning about) the Tawheed and the Prophet-hood because the servant, when he has fulfilled with it, He-azwj would Lead him to the Paradise which will not be declining’ – the Hadeeth’’.[378]

أَذْهَبْتُمْ طَيِّباتِكُمْ فِي حَياتِكُمُ الدُّنْيا أي فيقال لهم آثرتم طيباتكم و لذاتكم في الدنيا على طيبات الجنة وَ اسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِها أي انتفعتم بها منهمكين فيها

فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْتَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ وَ صَفْوَتُهُ وَ خِيَرَتُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَ كِسْرَى وَ قَيْصَرُ عَلَى سُرُرِ الذَّهَبِ وَ فُرُشِ الدِّيبَاجِ وَ الْحَرِيرِ
I greeted unto him-saww, then sat down. I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! You-saww are a Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj elite, and His-azwj Choice from His-azwj creatures, and Chosroe and Caesar are upon thrones of gold and beds of brocade and silk!’

Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘They are a people, their good things have been hastened and are almost to be terminated, and rather our-saww good things have been delayed’.
وَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فِي بَعْضِ خُطَبِهِ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَقَّعْتُ مِدْرَعَتِي هَذِهِ حَتَّى اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْ رَاقِعِهَا وَ لَقَدْ قَالَ لِي قَائِلٌ أَ لَا تَنْبِذُهَا فَقُلْتُ اعْزُبْ عَنِّي فَعِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ يَحْمَدُ الْقَوْمُ السُّرَى.
And Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws said in one of his-asws sermons: ‘By Allah-azwj! I-asws have been patching this shirt of mine-asws to the extent that I-asws am embarrassed from its stitches.

And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Qays,
‘From Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir-asws having said: ‘By Allah-azwj! Ali-asws used to eat the eating of the slaves, and sit the sitting of the slaves, and he-asws would buy the shirt and give the choice to his-asws slave of the better of the two, then he-asws would wear the other. Whenever it exceeded his-asws fingers, he-asws would cut it, and it exceeded his-asws heels, trimmed it.
وَ لَقَدْ وَلِيَ خَمْسَ سِنِينَ وَ مَا وَضَعَ آجُرَّةً عَلَى آجُرَّةٍ وَ لَا لَبِنَةً عَلَى لَبِنَةٍ وَ لَا أَوْرَثَ بَيْضَاءَ وَ لَا حَمْرَاءَ
And he-asws had ruled for five years, and he-asws had not placed a wage upon a wage (increased it), nor a brick upon a brick (build mansion), nor leave inheritance of white (silver) nor red (gold).
وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَيُطْعِمُ النَّاسَ خُبْزَ الْبُرِّ وَ اللَّحْمِ وَ يَنْصَرِفُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَيَأْكُلُ خُبْزَ الشَّعِيرِ وَ الزَّيْتِ وَ الْخَلِّ وَ لَا وَرَدَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَانِ كِلَاهُمَا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ رِضًا إِلَّا أَخَذَ بِأَشَدِّهِمَا عَلَى بَدَنِهِ
And he-asws would feed the people the wheat bread and meat and leave to go to his-asws house and eat the barley bread, and oil, and vinegar; and no two matter were referred to him-asws, both of them having the Pleasure of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in it, except he-asws would take to the severer of the two upon his-asws body.
وَ لَقَدْ أَعْتَقَ أَلْفَ مَمْلُوكٍ مِنْ كَدِّ يَمِينِهِ تَرِبَتْ مِنْهُ يَدَاهُ وَ عَرِقَ فِيهِ وَجْهُهُ وَ مَا أَطَاقَ عَمَلَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ
And he-asws has liberated a thousand slaves from the toil of his-asws right hand. His-asws hands were blistered from it and his-asws forehead had sweated in it, and no one from the people could endure his-asws work.
وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَيُصَلِّي فِي الْيَوْمِ وَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَلْفَ رَكْعَةٍ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَقْرَبُ النَّاسِ شَبَهاً بِهِ لَعَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ مَا أَطَاقَ عَمَلَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ بَعْدَهُ.
And he-asws would pray a thousand Cycles of Salat during the day and the night, and the closest of the people resembling to him-asws was Ali Bin Al-Husayn-asws, and no one from the people could endure his-asws work after him-asws’’.
ثم إنه قد اشتهر في الرواية 1 أَنَّهُ ع لَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ بِالْبَصْرَةِ يَعُودُهُ قَالَ لَهُ الْعَلَاءُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ أَخِي عَاصِمَ بْنَ زِيَادٍ لَبِسَ الْعَبَاءَ وَ تَخَلَّى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا
Then, it has been well-known in the report that when he-asws went to Al-A’ala Bin Ziyad at Al-Basra to console him, Al-A’ala said to him-asws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! I complain to you‑asws of my brother Aasim Bin Ziyad. He wears the cloak and isolates from the world’.
فَقَالَ ع عَلَيَّ بِهِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَ يَا عُدَيَّ نَفْسِهِ لَقَدِ اسْتَهَامَ بِكَ الْخَبِيثُ أَ مَا رَحِمْتَ أَهْلَكَ وَ وُلْدَكَ أَ تَرَى اللَّهَ أَحَلَّ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَ هُوَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَأْخُذَهَا أَنْتَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
He-asws said: ‘To me-asws with him!’ When he came, he-asws said: ‘O Uday! The wicked one (Iblees-la) has attacked you! Are you not having mercy on your wife and your children? Are you viewing that Allah-azwj would Permit the good things and He-azwj would Dislike if you were to take it? Are you unimportant to Allah-azwj than that?’
قَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هَذَا أَنْتَ فِي خُشُونَةِ عَيْشِكَ وَ جُشُوبَةِ مَأْكَلِكَ
He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! This is you-asws in the roughness of your-asws life and dryness of your-asws food!’
قَالَ وَيْحَكَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَنْتَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فَرَضَ عَلَى أَئِمَّةِ الْحَقِّ أَنْ يُقَدِّرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ بِضَعَفَةِ النَّاسِ كَيْلَا يَتَبَيَّغَ بِالْفَقِيرِ فَقْرُهُ انْتَهَى.
He-asws said: ‘Woe be unto you! I-asws am not like you. Allah-azwj the Exalted has Imposed the right upon Imams-asws and they-asws would able themselves-asws with the weakest of the people, lest the poor one is overwhelmed with his poverty’ – end’’.
و أقول الخطاب في هذه الآية للكفار فإن طيباتهم كانت منحصرة فيما تمتعوا بها في الدنيا لتفويتهم على أنفسهم استحقاق نعيم الآخرة فلا تكون حجة في رجحان ترك المؤمنين ملاذ الدنيا و نعيمها
And I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘The Address in this Verse is to the Kafirs, for their good things were restricted in what they were enjoying with in the world, to their missing out upon themselves deserving the bounties of the Hereafter, so it cannot be an argument in the preponderance of the Momineen in neglecting the pleasures of the world and its bounties’.
1 كَمَا قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِيمَا كَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مِصْرَ مَعَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَ اعْلَمُوا يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ أَنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ حَازُوا عَاجِلَ الْخَيْرِ وَ آجِلَهُ فَشَارَكُوا أَهْلَ الدُّنْيَا فِي دُنْيَاهُمْ وَ لَمْ يُشَارِكْهُمْ أَهْلُ الْآخِرَةِ فِي آخِرَتِهِمْ أَبَاحَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَا كَفَاهُمْ بِهِ وَ أَغْنَاهُمْ
Just as Amir Al-Momineen-asws said among what he-asws wrote to the people of Egypt with Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr: ‘And know, O servants of Allah-azwj! The pious ones are sharing the current goodness (of the world) and its future (of the Hereafter), so they (pious one) are participating the people of the world in their world while they (people of the world) will not be participating with the people of the Hereafter in their Hereafter! Allah-azwj has Legalised for them in the world what they can be sufficed with and Made them needless.
قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ اسْمُهُ قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبادِهِ وَ الطَّيِّباتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا خالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ كَذلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآياتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ
Allah-azwj, Mighty is His-azwj Name, Said: Say: ‘Who prohibited adornments of Allah which He Brought out for His servants, and the good from the sustenance?’ Say: ‘These would be for those who believe sincerely in the life of the world, on the Day of Judgment. Like that We Detail the Signs for a people who know’ [7:32].
سَكَنُوا الدُّنْيَا بِأَفْضَلِ مَا سُكِنَتْ وَ أَكَلُوهَا بِأَفْضَلِ مَا أُكِلَتْ شَارَكُوا أَهْلَ الدُّنْيَا فِي دُنْيَاهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا مَعَهُمْ مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ وَ شَرِبُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا يَشْرَبُونَ وَ لَبِسُوا مِنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا يَلْبَسُونَ وَ سَكَنُوا مِنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا يَسْكُنُونَ وَ تَزَوَّجُوا مِنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا يَتَزَوَّجُونَ وَ رَكِبُوا مِنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا يَرْكَبُونَ
They dwelled in the world with the best of what can be dwelt, and they ate the best of what can be eaten. They participated the people of the world in their world and ate with them from the good things what they had eaten, and they drank from the good things what they had drunk, and they word the best of they were wearing, and they dwelt from the best of (houses) what they were dwelling, and they married from the best of what they had married, and they rode from the best of what they were riding.
أَصَابُوا لَذَّةَ الدُّنْيَا مَعَ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا وَ هُمْ غَداً جِيرَانُ اللَّهِ يَتَمَنَّوْنَ عَلَيْهِ فَيُعْطِيهِمْ مَا يَتَمَنَّوْنَ لَا تُرَدُّ لَهُمْ دَعْوَةٌ وَ لَا يَنْقُصُ لَهُمْ نَصِيبٌ مِنَ اللَّذَّةِ
They attained the pleasures of the world with the people of the world, and tomorrow they would be neighbours of Allah-azwj wishing to Him-azwj, so He-azwj would Grant them whatever they will be wishing for. Neither will any supplication of theirs be rejected nor would any share be deficient for them from the pleasures.
فَإِلَى هَذَا يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ يَشْتَاقُ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَقْلٌ وَ يَعْمَلُ لَهُ تَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ.
So, to this, O servants of Allah-azwj, yearns the one who has intellect for him, and he works for it, fearing Allah-azwj, and there is neither any might nor strength except with Allah-azwj’’.

(The book) ‘Irshad Al-Quloub’ –
‘From Suweyd Bin Gafla who said, ‘I entered to see Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and found him‑asws seated. In front of him-asws was a utensil wherein was milk. I found in it the smell of its sourness, and in his-asws hand was a loaf. I saw the crumbs of barley in his-asws face and he-asws was breaking (the bread) by his-asws hand and dropping it in it.
فَقَالَ ادْنُ فَأَصِبْ مِنْ طَعَامِنَا فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ ع سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ مَنَعَهُ الصِّيَامُ عَنْ طَعَامٍ يَشْتَهِيهِ كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُطْعِمَهُ مِنْ طَعَامِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ يَسْقِيَهُ مِنْ شَرَابِهَا
He-asws said: ‘Come near and attain from our-asws food’. I said, ‘I am fasting’. He-asws said: ‘I-asws heard Rasool-Allah-saww: ‘One whom the fast prevents from food he desires, would have a right upon Allah-azwj to Feed him from the food of Paradise and Quench him from its drinks’’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ لِفِضَّةَ وَ هِيَ قَرِيبَةٌ مِنْهُ قَائِمَةٌ وَيْحَكِ يَا فِضَّةُ أَ مَا تَتَّقِينَ اللَّهَ فِي هَذَا الشَّيْخِ تَنْخُلُ هَذَا الطَّعَامَ مِنَ النُّخَالَةِ الَّتِي فِيهِ قَالَتْ قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْنَا أَنْ لَا نَنْخُلَ لَهُ طَعَاماً قَالَ مَا قُلْتَ لَهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to Fizza-as, and she-asws was nearby him-asws, ‘Woe be unto you-as, O Fizza-as! Are you-as not fearing Allah-azwj regarding this old man? Sift this food from the sifting which is in it!’ She-as said, ‘He-asws has instructed us not to sift any food for him-asws’’. He-asws said: ‘What did you say to her-as?’ I informed him-asws.
فَقَالَ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي مَنْ لَمْ يُنْخَلْ لَهُ طَعَامٌ وَ لَمْ يَشْبَعْ مِنْ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ
He-asws said: ‘By my father and my mother! He-asws was one for whom food was not sifted, and he-asws did not satiate from the wheat bread for three days until Allah-azwj Captured him-asws (his-asws soul)’.
قَالَ وَ كَانَ ع يَجْعَلُ جَرِيشَ الشَّعِيرِ فِي وِعَاءٍ وَ يَخْتِمُ عَلَيْهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ هَذَيْنِ الْوَلَدَيْنِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَا فِيهِ شَيْئاً مِنْ زَيْتٍ أَوْ سَمْنٍ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘And he-asws would make the barley grits to be in a jar and seal upon it. It was said to him-asws regarding that. He-asws said: ‘I-asws fear these two sons-asws that they-asws might make something to be in it, form the oil or butter’’.[389]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘The Prophet-saww entered Masjid Quba. He-saww was brought a utensil wherein was yoghurt milk mixed with honey. He‑saww drank from it, a gulp or two gulps, then placed it down. It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah‑saww! Are you-saww leaving it as being forbidden?’ He-saww said: ‘No, O Allah-azwj!

‘Ibn Khowly came to the Prophet-saww with a utensil wherein was honey and milk. He-saww refused to drink it. He-saww said: ‘Two drinks in one drink, and two utensils in one utensil’. He‑saww refused to drink it.

Then he-saww said: ‘Two drinks. One can suffice with one of these from its counterpart. Neither am I-saww drinking it nor am I-saww forbidding it, but I-asws am being humble to Allah-azwj, for the one who is humble to Allah-azwj. Allah-azwj would Raise him, and the one who is arrogant. Allah‑azwj would Drop him, and the one who is moderate in his life, Allah-azwj would Grace him, and the one is wasteful, Allah-azwj would Deprive him, and the one who is of frequent Zikr of Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj would Love him’’.[399]
12- الدَّعَائِمُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّهُ أَتَى قُبَا يَوْمَ خَمِيسٍ وَ هُوَ صَائِمٌ فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى قَالَ هَلْ مِنْ شَرَابٍ وَ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ مَنْ أَكْثَرَ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ
(The book) ‘Al-Da’aim’ –
‘From Rasool-Allah-saww. One day he-saww came to (Masjid) Quba on the day of Thursday while he-saww was fasting. When it was evening, he-saww said: ‘Is there any drink?’ and he (the narrator) mentioned similar to his-saww words: ‘And the one who is frequent of Zikr of Allah‑azwj, Allah-azwj would Grace him’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ فَهَذَا (وَ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ) مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص تَوَاضُعٌ كَمَا قَالَ لَا عَلَى أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَرَّمَ شَيْئاً مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ الرِّزْقِ قَالَ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبادِهِ وَ الطَّيِّباتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا خالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ
Then he (the narrator) said, ‘So this, and Allah-azwj is more Knowing, is humbleness from Rasool-Allah-saww just as he-saww had said: ‘Not based upon that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Prohibited something from the good things of the sustenance. He-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Mention, Said: Say: ‘Who prohibited adornments of Allah which He Brought out for His servants, and the good from the sustenance?’ Say: ‘These would be for those who believe sincerely in the life of the world, on the Day of Judgment. [7:32]’.
وَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ أُتِيَ بِطَبَقِ فَالُوذَجٍ فَوُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ وَ رَأَى صَفَاءَهُ وَ حُسْنَهُ فَوَجَأَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ فِيهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَلَّهَا فَلَمْ يَنْتَزِعْ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً فَتَلَمَّظَ إِصْبَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَحُلْوٌ طَيِّبٌ وَ لَكِنْ نَكْرَهُ أَنْ نُعَوِّدَ أَنْفُسَنَا مَا لَمْ تُعَوَّدْ ارْفَعُوهُ فَرَفَعُوهُ.
And from Ali-asws, he-asws was brought a tray of Falouzaj (sweet dish). It was placed in front of him-asws. He-asws looked at its clearness and its beauty. He-asws dipped his-asws finger into it, then withdrew it. He-asws did not remove anything from it. He-asws licked his-asws finger, then said: ‘This is sweet, good, but we-asws dislike to repeat ourselves-asws for as long as it is not returned. Raise it!’ It was raised’’.[400]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The Momin eats in one intestine (metaphorical – i.e., eats to the contentment), and the Kafir eats in seven intestines (metaphorical – i.e., eats a lot)’’.[401]

Explanation (Ahadeeth only)
قَوْلِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لَيُسَلَّطَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غُلَامُ ثَقِيفٍ الذَّيَّالُ الْمَيَّالُ يَأْكُلُ خُضْرَتَكُمْ وَ يُذِيبُ شَحْمَتَكُمْ.
Words of Amir Al-Momineen-asws: ‘There shall overcome upon you all a boy of (clan of) Saqeef, the swaggering (in his walk), the tilted. He will consume your greenery and melt your fat (making you toil)’’.
و يَقُولُ لِغَيْرِهِ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَظْهَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْدِي رَجُلٌ رَحْبُ الْبُلْعُومِ مُنْدَحِقُ الْبَطْنِ وَاسِعُ السُّرْمِ يَأْكُلُ مَا يَجِدُ.
And he-asws said to others: ‘But, there shall prevail upon you all after me-asws, a man of large throat, vast belly, big intestine. He will eat whatever he can find’’.
رَوَاهُ عَنِ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ بِسَنَدٍ جَيِّدٍ بِزَعْمِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص سَبْعَةُ رجل [رِجَالٍ] فَأَخَذَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ رَجُلًا وَ أَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ص رَجُلًا فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا اسْمُكَ قَالَ أَبُو غَزْوَانَ
It is reported from Al Tabrany, by a good chain by his claim, from Ibn Umar who said,
‘Seven men came to the Prophet-saww. Each one from the companions held a man, and the Prophet-saww held a man. He-saww said to him: ‘What is your name?’ He said, ‘Abu Gazwan’.
قَالَ فَحُلِبَ لَهُ سَبْعُ شِيَاهٍ فَشَرِبَ لَبَنَهَا كُلَّهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص هَلْ لَكَ يَا أَبَا غَزْوَانَ أَنْ تُسْلِمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَسْلَمَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Seven sheep were milked for him, and he drank their milk, all of it. The Prophet-saww said to him: ‘O Abu Gazwan! Is it for you to be a Muslim?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He became a Muslim.
فَمَسَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص صَدْرَهُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ حُلِبَ لَهُ شَاةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَلَمْ يُتِمَّ لَبَنَهَا فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا غَزْوَانَ
Rasool-Allah-saww touched his chest. When it was morning, one sheep was milked for him, but he could not finish (drinking) its milk. He-saww said: ‘What is the matter with you, O Abu Gazwan?’
فَقَالَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ رُوِيتُ قَالَ إِنَّكَ أَمْسِ كَانَ لَكَ سَبْعَةُ أَمْعَاءٍ وَ لَيْسَ لَكَ الْيَوْمَ إِلَّا مِعًى وَاحِدٌ.
He said, ‘By the One-azwj Who Sent you with the truth! I am saturated’. He-saww said: ‘Yesterday there were seven intestines for you, and today there isn’t for you except one intestine’’.
وَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الصَّحِيحِ أَنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ بِإِسْرَافِ نَفْسٍ كَانَ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَ لَا يَشْبَعُ.
And in a correct Hadeeth by Abu Saeed: ‘This wealth is sweet, green. The one who takes it with an extravagant self would be like the one who eats and is not satiated’’.
3- عِدَّةُ الدَّاعِي، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: حَسْبُ ابْنِ آدَمَ لُقَيْمَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ وَ لَا بُدَّ فَلْيَكُنِ الثُّلُثُ لِلطَّعَامِ وَ الثُّلُثُ لِلشَّرَابِ وَ الثُّلُثُ الْآخَرُ لِلنَّفَسِ.
(The book) ‘Iddat Al Da’aie’ –
‘From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘The son of Adam-as is sufficed by morsels to sustain his solidness. If it was inevitable, then let the third (of the space) be for the food, and the third for the drink, and the other third for the breathing’’.[403]
بيان الْمِقْدَامُ بْنُ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ مَا مَلَأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرّاً مِنْ بَطْنٍ حَسْبُ الْآدَمِيِّ لُقَيْمَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنْ غَلَبَ الْآدَمِيَّ نَفْسُهُ فَثُلُثٌ لِلطَّعَامِ وَ ثُلُثٌ لِلشَّرَابِ وَ ثُلُثٌ لِلنَّفَسِ.
Explanation – (Hadeeth only)
Al Miqdam Bin Ma’deykarb who said,
‘I heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘A human being will not fill the evil container of a belly. It suffices the human being, morsels to sustain his solidness. It the human being is overcome by his self, then a third for the food, and this for the drink, and a third for the breathing’’.
4 الشِّهَابُ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مَلَأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرّاً مِنْ بَطْنٍ.
Al-Shihab – Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘A human being cannot fill the evil container of a belly’’.[404]
5- كِتَابُ الْغَايَاتِ، قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ إِلَى اللَّهِ إِذَا مَا خَفَّ بَطْنُهُ.
(The book) ‘Kitab Al Gayaat’ –
Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘The closest of what the servant can be to Allah-azwj is when his belly is light’’.[405]
5 وَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَبْغَضَ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ بَطْنٍ مَمْلُوءٍ.
And from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘There is nothing more Hateful to Allah-azwj than a full belly’’.[406]
وَ قَالَ ع أَبْعَدُ الْخَلْقِ مِنَ اللَّهِ إِذَا مَا امْتَلَأَ بَطْنُهُ.
And he-asws said: ‘The furthest the creature can be from Allah-azwj is when his belly is full’’.[407]
6- الْعُيُونُ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الْهَرَوِيِّ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ قَالَ: وَ كَانَ ع خَفِيفَ الْأَكْلِ خَفِيفَ الطَّعْمِ.
(The book) ‘Al-Uyoun’ – from Tameem Bin Abdullah, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Ali Al Ansari, from Abdul Salam Bin Salih Al Harwy,
‘From Al-Reza-asws in a lengthy Hadeeth, said: ‘And he-asws (Ali-asws) was light of eating, light of food’’.[408]
7- الْمَكَارِمُ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص نُورُ الْحِكْمَةِ الْجُوعُ وَ التَّبَاعُدُ مِنَ اللَّهِ الشِّبَعُ وَ الْقُرْبَةُ إِلَى اللَّهِ حُبُّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَ الدُّنُوُّ مِنْهُمْ
(The book) ‘Al-Makarim’ –
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The light of wisdom is the hunger, and the distancing from Allah-azwj is the satiation, and the nearness to Allah-azwj is love for the poor and the lowly from them’.
وَ قَالَ ص لَا تُمِيتُوا الْقُلُوبَ بِكَثْرَةِ الطَّعَامِ وَ الشَّرَابِ فَإِنَّ الْقُلُوبَ تَمُوتُ كَالزُّرُوعِ إِذَا كَثُرَ عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءُ
And he-saww said: ‘Do not kill of the heart by a lot of food and drink, for the heart die off like the plant when the water is a lot upon it!’
وَ قَالَ ص لَا تَشْبَعُوا فَتَطْفَأَ نُورُ الْمَعْرِفَةِ مِنْ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ مَنْ بَاتَ يُصَلِّي فِي خِفَّةٍ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ بَاتَ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ حَوْلَهُ.
And he-saww said: ‘Do not be satiated, for it would extinguish the light of understanding from your hearts, and the one who spends the night praying Salat in the lightness from the food, Maiden Houries will spend the night around him’’.[409]

He-la said: ‘These are desires which I-la attain from the son of Adam-as’. He-as said: ‘Is there anything for me-as from these?’ He-la said: ‘Sometimes you-as get satiated, so you-as are too sluggish from the Salat and the Zikr’.

And from him, from his father, from Al Nazar, from Umar Bin Shimr, raising it, said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said in a speech of his-saww: ‘There shall be a year from after me-saww, the Momin will eat in one intestine and the Kafir will eat in seven intestines!’’[433]
32- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كُفْرٌ بِالنِّعَمِ أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ أَكَلْتُ طَعَامَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَضَرَّنِي.
(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ibn Al Qaddah, from Abdul Salam, from a man,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Kufr with a bounty is that the man says, ‘I ate such and such food and it harmed me’’.[434]
33 مِصْبَاحُ الشَّرِيعَةِ، قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع قِلَّةُ الْأَكْلِ مَحْمُودٌ فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ وَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ قَوْمٍ لِأَنَّ فِيهِ الْمَصْلَحَةَ لِلْبَاطِنِ وَ الظَّاهِرِ
(The book) ‘Misbah Al Sharia’ –
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Eating little is recommended in every situation and with every people, because in it is the betterment for the interior and the exterior.
وَ الْمَحْمُودُ مِنَ الْأَكْلِ أَرْبَعَةٌ ضَرُورَةٌ وَ عُدَّةٌ وَ فَتُوحٌ وَ قُوتٌ فَالْأَكْلُ بِالضَّرُورَةِ لِلْأَصْفِيَاءِ وَ الْعُدَّةُ لِلْقُوَّامِ الْأَتْقِيَاءِ وَ الْفَتُوحُ لِلْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ وَ الْقُوتُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And the praised is the one who eats four (times) – during the necessity, and a number of times, and occasionally, and subsistence. The eating at necessity is for the elites, and the number of times is for the custodians, the pious, and the occasionally is for the trustful, and the subsistence is for the Momineen.
وَ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَضَرَّ لِقَلْبِ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْأَكْلِ وَ هِيَ مُورِثَةٌ شَيْئَيْنِ قَسْوَةَ الْقَلْبِ وَ هَيَجَانَ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ الْجُوعُ إِدَامٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ وَ غِذَاءُ الرُّوحِ وَ طَعَامُ الْقَلْبِ وَ صِحَّةُ الْبَدَنِ
And there isn’t anything more harmful to the heart of the Momin than eating a lot, and it inherits two things – hardness of the hear and stirring the lustful desires, while the hunger is a sauce for the Momineen, and a feed of the soul, and food of the heart, and health for the body.
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ مَا مَلَأَ ابْنُ آدَمَ وِعَاءً أَشَرَّ مِنْ بَطْنِهِ
The Prophet-saww said: ‘The son of Adam-as will not fill any container eviler than his belly’.
وَ قَالَ دَاوُدُ ع تَرْكُ اللُّقْمَةِ مَعَ الضَّرُورَةِ إِلَيْهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ قِيَامِ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً
And Dawood-as said: ‘Leaving the morsel with the necessity to it is more beloved to me-as than standing (to pray Salat) for twenty nights’.
وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص الْمُؤْمِنُ يَأْكُلُ بِمِعًى وَاحِدٍ وَ الْمُنَافِقُ بِسَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ
And the Prophet-saww said: ‘The Momin eats with one intestine and the hypocrite eats with seven intestines’.
وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَيْلٌ لِلنَّاسِ مِنَ الْقَبْقَبَيْنِ فَقِيلَ وَ مَا هُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْحَلْقُ وَ الْفَرْجُ
And the Prophet-saww said: ‘Woe be to the people from the two vaults’. It was said, ‘And what are these, O Rasool-Allah-saww?’ He-saww said: ‘The throat (belly) and the private parts’’.
وَ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ع مَا مَرِضَ قَلْبٌ بِأَشَدَّ مِنَ الْقَسْوَةِ وَ مَا اعْتَلَّتْ نَفْسٌ بِأَصْعَبَ مِنْ نَقْصِ الْجُوعِ وَ هُمَا زِمَامَانِ لِلطَّرْدِ وَ الْخِذْلَانِ.
And Isa-as Bin Maryam-as said: ‘A heart does not fall sick with anything severer than the cruelty, and no soul falls sicker with anything more difficult than lack of hunger, and these are two reins for the expulsion and the abandonment’’.[435]

He-as said: ‘And what is your-saww alarm, O Muhammad-saww, and Allah-azwj has Forgiven for you-saww whatever has preceded from your sins and what is delayed, [48:2]’.
قَالَ بِمَا ذَا بَعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ
He-saww said: ‘What has your-as Lord-azwj Sent you-as with?’
قَالَ يَنْهَاكَ رَبُّكَ عَنْ عِبَادَةِ الْأَوْثَانِ وَ شُرْبِ الْخُمُورِ وَ مُلَاحَاةِ الرِّجَالِ وَ أُخْرَى هِيَ لِلْآخِرَةِ وَ الْأُولَى يَقُولُ لَكَ رَبُّكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا أَبْغَضْتُ وِعَاءً قَطُّ كَبُغْضِي بَطْناً مَلْآناً.
He-as said: ‘Your-saww Lord-azwj Forbids you from worshipping the idols, and drinking the wines, and vanities of the men; and another (issue), it is for the Hereafter and the former (world). Your-saww Lord-azwj Says to you-saww: “O Muhammad-saww! I-azwj do not Hate any container at all like My-azwj Hatred for a full belly!”’[436]

(The book) ‘Da’waat’ of Al-Rawandy,
‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘Beware of the large belly for it is a spoiler for the body and inheritor for the sickness, and laziness from the (acts of) worship’.
وَ رُوِيَ مَنْ قَلَّ طَعَامُهُ صَحَّ بَدَنُهُ وَ صَفَا قَلْبُهُ وَ مَنْ كَثُرَ طَعْمُهُ سَقِمَ بَدَنُهُ وَ قَسَا قَلْبُهُ.
And it is reported: ‘One whose food intake is little, his body would be healthy, and his heart would be clear, and the one whose food intake is a lot, his body would be sick, and his heart would be cruel’’.[437]

تفسير
(Forbidden) Interpretation (opinionated)
قال الطبرسي رحمه الله الغداء طعام الغداة و العشاء طعام العشي و الإنسان إلى الغداء أشد حاجة منه إلى العشاء
Al-Tabarsee, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, said, ‘The lunch, is food of the lunch, and the dinner is food of the dinner, and the human being is of severer need to the lunch than to the dinner’.
و قال قال المفسرون ليس في الجنة شمس و لا قمر فيكون لهم بكرة و عشيا و المراد أنهم يؤتون رزقهم على ما يعرفونه من مقدار الغداة و العشاء
And he said, ‘The interpreters said, ‘There is neither any sun in the Paradise nor a moon for there to be morning and evening for them, and the intent is, they would be brought their sustenance based upon what they recognise, from the measurement of the linch and the dinner’.
و قيل كانت العرب إذا أصاب أحدهم الغداء و العشاء أعجب به و كانت تكره الوجبة و هي الأكلة الواحدة في اليوم فأخبر الله تعالى أن لهم في الجنة رزقهم بكرة و عشيا على قدر ذلك الوقت و ليس ثم ليل و إنما هو ضوء و نور عن قتادة
And it is said, ‘It was so that the Arabs, whenever one of them attained the lunch and the dinner, liked it, and would dislike the meal, and it is the eating alone during the day. Allah-azwj the Exalted Informed that for them would be their sustenance morning and evening, based upon a measurement of that timing, and there wouldn’t be night then, and rather it is illumination and light’ – from Qatadah.
و قيل إنهم يعرفون مقدار الليل بإرخاء الحجب و فتح الأبواب انتهى.
And it is said, ‘They would be recognising the measurement of the night by dropping of the curtains and opening of the doors’ – end.
و أقول يظهر من بعض الأخبار أن هذا وصف جنة الدنيا فلا إشكال
And I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is apparent from some of the Ahadeeth that this is a description of the ‘paradise’ of the world, so there is no problem’.
قال علي بن إبراهيم ذلك في جنات الدنيا قبل القيامة و الدليل على ذلك بكرة و عشيا فالبكرة و العشي لا تكون في الآخرة في جنات الخلد و إنما يكون الغدو و العشي في جنات الدنيا التي تنتقل إليها أرواح المؤمنين و تطلع فيها الشمس و القمر انتهى.
Ali Bin Ibrahim said, ‘In the gardens of the world before the Qiyamah, and the evidence upon that is ‘morning and evening [19:62]. The morning and the evening cannot happen in the Hereafter in the Gardens of eternity, and rather the morning and the evening happen in gardens of the world to which the souls of the Momineen will be transferred to, and the sun and the moon will emerge in these’ – end.
و على التقادير فيها إيماء إلى استحباب التغدي و التعشي و الجمع بينهما و الاكتفاء بهما إذ لو كان يحسن الأكل بينهما لكان ذكره في مقام الامتنان أنسب و كان البكرة شامل لما قبل الزوال و التعشي لما بعده إلى مضي شيء من الليل أو إلى آخره كما مر مرارا.
And based upon the assessment in it is an indication to the recommendation of having the lunch and the dinner and the gathering between the two, and the sufficing with these two, when if it would have been good to eat between the two, He-azwj would have Mentioned it in place of the gratitude would have been more appropriate, and the morning is inclusive of before the midday, and the evening is when after it is something from the night going away, or to the end of it, like what has already passed repeatedly’.

14 وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ تَرَكَ الْعَشَاءَ لَيْلَةَ السَّبْتِ وَ لَيْلَةَ الْأَحَدِ مُتَوَالِيَتَيْنِ ذَهَبَ مِنْهُ مَا لَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً.
And Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who neglects the dinner on the night of Saturday, and night of Sunday consecutively, there would go away from him (strength) what will not return to him for forty days’’.[468]
وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلشَّيْخِ الْكَبِيرِ أَنْ يَنَامَ إِلَّا وَ جَوْفُهُ مُمْتَلِئٌ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَإِنَّهُ أَهْدَأُ لِنَوْمِهِ وَ أَطْيَبُ لِنَكْهَتِهِ.
And from Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘It is not befitting for the aged old man that he sleeps except, and his inside is filled from the food, for it is calming for his sleep and good for his breath’’.[469]
22- دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الْفَجْرَ فَكُلْ كِسْرَةً تُطَيِّبْ بِهَا نَكْهَتَكَ وَ تُطْفِئْ بِهَا حَرَارَتَكَ وَ تُقَوِّمْ بِهَا أَضْرَاسَكَ وَ تَشُدَّ بِهَا لِثَتَكَ وَ تَجْلِبْ بِهَا رِزْقَكَ وَ تُحَسِّنْ بِهَا خُلُقَكَ.
(The book) ‘Da’waat’ of Al-Rawandy –
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘When you have prayed the dawn Salat, then eat a piece of bread to freshen your breath with it and extinguish the heat with it, and straightening your teeth by it, and strengthening your gums by it, and pull your sustenance by it, and improve your morals by it’’.[470]
وَ عَنْ زَيْنِ الْعَابِدِينَ ع أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ ثُمَّ يَثْبُتُ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي صَلَاةً طَوِيلَةً ثُمَّ يَرْقُدُ رَقْدَةً ثُمَّ يَسْتَيْقِظُ فَيَدْعُو بِالسِّوَاكِ فَيَسْتَنُّ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو بِالْغَدَاءِ.
And from Zayn Al Abideen-asws, he-asws used to pray the morning Salat, then be affirmed in his‑asws prayer mat until the sun emerged, then he-asws would stand and pray a lengthy Salat, then he-asws would lie down to sleep, then he-asws would wake up and call for the toothbrush, so he-asws would clean his-asws teeth, then call for the lunch’’.[471]
23- الشِّهَابُ، قَالَ ص تَعَشَّوْا وَ لَوْ بِكَفٍّ مِنْ حَشَفٍ فَإِنَّ تَرْكَ الْعَشَاءِ مَهْرَمَةٌ.
Al Shihaab –
‘He-saww said: ‘Have dinner and even if it be a handful of dry yeast, for neglecting the dinner ages (a person, i.e., weakens)’’.[472]
24- الْكَافِي، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ ذَرِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: الشَّيْخُ لَا يَدَعُ الْعَشَاءَ وَ لَوْ بِلُقْمَةٍ.
(The book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – from Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of his companions, from Zareeh,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The old man should not leave the dinner, and even if it is with a morsel’’.[473]
25- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ الْعِدَّةِ عَنْ سَهْلٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ اللَّهَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَا يَقُولُ أَطِبَّاؤُكُمْ فِي عَشَاءِ اللَّيْلِ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُمْ يَنْهَوْنَّا عَنْهُ قَالَ فَإِنِّي آمُرُكُمْ بِهِ.
And from him, from the number, from Sahl, from Bakr Bin Salih, from Ibn Fazzal, from Abdullah Bin Ibrahim, from Ali Bin Abu Ali Al Lahby,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘What are your physicians saying regarding the night dinner?’ I said, ‘They are forbidding us from it’. He-asws said: ‘I-asws am instructing you all with it!’’[474]
26- وَ مِنْهُ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: طَعَامُ اللَّيْلِ أَنْفَعُ مِنْ طَعَامِ النَّهَارِ.
And from him, by his chain,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Food at night is beneficial than food at daytime’’.[475]
27- وَ مِنْهُ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: إِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ عِرْقاً يُقَالُ لَهُ الْعَشَاءُ فَإِذَا تَرَكَ الرَّجُلُ الْعَشَاءَ لَمْ يَزَلْ يَدْعُو عَلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ الْعِرْقُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ يَقُولُ أَجَاعَكَ اللَّهُ كَمَا أَجَعْتَنِي وَ أَظْمَأَكَ اللَّهُ كَمَا أَظْمَأْتَنِي فَلَا يَدَعَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْعَشَاءَ وَ لَوْ بِلُقْمَةٍ مِنْ خُبْزٍ أَوْ بِشَرْبَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ.
And from him, by his chain,
‘From Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘In the body there is a vein call ‘Al-Asha’. When the man neglects the dinner, that vein does not cease supplicating against him till morning, saying: ‘May Allah-azwj Keep you hungry just as you have kept me hungry, and may Allah-azwj Keep you thirsty just as you have kept me thirsty’. Therefore, not one of you should leave the dinner, and even if it is with a morsel of bread, or a drink of water’’.[476]
28- الْكَافِي، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ: تَعَشَّيْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَتَمَةً فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ عَشَائِهِ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ قَالَ هَذَا عَشَائِي وَ عَشَاءُ آبَائِي الْحَدِيثَ.
(The book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – by his chain, from Dawood Bin Kaseer who said,
‘I had dinner with Abu Abdullah-asws at evening. When he-asws was free from his-asws dinner, he-asws praised Allah-azwj and said: ‘This is my-asws dinner and dinner of my-asws forefathers-asws’ – the Hadeeth’’.[477]
