Hadith 656
۞
4-142 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Musa ibn Ja’far ibn Abi Ja’far al-Kumaydany quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Ali ibn al-Hikam who linked it up through a chain of narrators to Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB)
“O Ali! Four things are done in vain: eating after (attaining) satiety; lighting a lamp in moonlight; planting seeds in salty ground; and doing a favor for people who are not worthy of it.”
4-142 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن موسى بن جعفر بن أبي جعفر الكميداني، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن علي بن الحكم بإسناده يرفعه إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
أربعة يذهبن ضياعا: البذر في السبخة، والسراج في القمر، والاكل على الشبع، والمعروف إلى من ليس بأهله
