5-93 Muhammad ibn Ali ibn ash-Shah narrated that Abu Hamid Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hussein quoted on the authority of Abu Yazid Ahmad ibn Khalid al-Khalidy, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Salih al-Tamimy, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Anas ibn Muhammad Abu Malik, on the authority of his father, on the authorityof Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of his grandfather (MGB) that Ali ibn Abi Talib (MGB) said, “
O Ali! Banquets should only be served in five situations: wedding parties, birth of babies, circumcision, purchase of houses, and returning from Mecca (after performing the Hajj).”The compiler of the book - may God be pleased with him - said, “One form of banquet which is referred to as Vakira is for buying or building a new house. Another form of banquet which is referred to as Naqia is for returning from a journey. In fact, the word Rekaz means booties. It refers to the banquet served upon returning home from the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, since the pilgrim considers it to have an extra reward for him. In a similar statement, the Prophet (MGB) said ‘fasting in the month of Ramazan is similar to booties.’
5-93 حدثنا محمد بن علي بن الشاه قال: حدثنا أبوحامد أحمد بن محمد بن الحسين قال: حدثنا أبو يزيد أحمد بن خالد الخالدي قال: حدثنا محمد بن أحمد بن صالح التميمي عن أبيه قال: حدثنا أنس بن محمد أبو مالك، عن أبيه، عن جعفر بنمحمد، عن أبيه، عن جده، عن علي بن أبي طالب عليهم السلام عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله
أنه قال في وصيته له: ياعلي لا وليمة إلا في خمس: في عرس أو خرس أو عذار أو وكار أو ركاز. والعرس التزويج، والخرس النفاس بالولد، والعذار الختان، والوكار في شراء الدار، والركاز الذي يقدم من مكةقال مصنف هذا الكتاب رضي الله عنه: يقال للطعام الذي يدعا اليه الناس عند بناء الدار او شرائها: الوكيرة، والوكار منه، ويقال للطعام الذي يتخذ للقادم من السفر: النقيعة، والركاز الغنيمة كأنه يريد أن في اتخاذ الطعام للقدوم من مكة غنيمة لصاحبه من الثواب الجزيل. ومنه قول النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: "الصوم في الشتاء الغنيمة الباردة ".
