7. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Ali ibn Asbat from his father who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked, ‘Did the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, provide proper sustenance for his family?’ The Imam replied, ‘Yes, when a soul knows how much it needs, it then becomes satisfied with that much and flesh grows with it.’”
7ـ سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) سُئِلَ أَ
كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَقُوتُ عِيَالَهُ قُوتاً مَعْرُوفاً قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّ النَّفْسَ إِذَا عَرَفَتْ قُوتَهَا قَنِعَتْ بِهِ وَنَبَتَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّحْمُ.
