Hadith 511
۞
1. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed, from Musa bin Qasem, from Ali bin Asbat, from Hasan bin Jahm, that he said
Abu’l-Hasan, peace be upon him, said: The Commander of the Believers, Allah’s blessings be upon him, used to say: None rejects generosity except for a donkey. I said: What is the meaning of that? He said: (Being offered) Wide sitting place and when perfume is offered to him.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن موسى بن القاسم، عن علي بن أسباط، عن الحسن بن الجهم، قال
قال أبو الحسن عليه السلام: كان أمير المؤمنين صلوات الله عليه يقول: لا يأبى الكرامة إلا حمار. قلت: ما معنى ذلك؟ قال: التوسعة في المجلس، والطيب يعرض عليه.
