Hadith 1018

Hadith.4231 - It was said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as):
"We have heard that the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: 'Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, despises the house filled with meat and the fattened meat.'"
So Imam (as) replied: "We eat meat and love it. What the Prophet, peace be upon him, meant was the house where the flesh of people is consumed through backbiting. And by 'fattened meat,' he meant the one who is arrogant and boastful in his walk."
4231 - وَ قِيلَ لِلصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ "إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَيُبْغِضُ اَلْبَيْتَ اَللَّحِمَ وَ اَللَّحِمَ اَلسَّمِينَ" فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "إِنَّا لَنَأْكُلُ اَللَّحْمَ وَ نُحِبُّهُ وَ إِنَّمَا عَنَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْبَيْتَ اَلَّذِي تُؤْكَلُ فِيهِ لُحُومُ اَلنَّاسِ بِالْغِيبَةِ وَ عَنَى بِاللَّحِمِ اَلسَّمِينِ اَلْمُتَبَخْتِرَ اَلْمُخْتَالَ فِي مِشْيَتِهِ".
