28-72 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Musa ibn Al-Qasim al-Bajali, on the authority of Ali ibn Asbat, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Al-Jahm, on the authority of Abul Hassan (s) that the
Commander of the Faithful (s) said, “No one but a donkey would reject honoring and respect.” Al-Hassan ibn Al-Jahm asked, “What is mean by that?” The Imam (s) said, “I mean things like making room for someone in a meeting or offering someone some perfume.”
72 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّه، عَن أَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنالقاسِمِ البَجَليِّ، عَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَسْباط عَنِ الحَسَن بْنِ الجَهْمِ قالَ
قالَ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ يَقُولُ لا يَأْبَى الْكَرَامَةَ إِلا حِمَارٌ قُلْتُ مَا مَعْنَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ التَّوْسِعَةُ فِي الَْمجْلِسِ وَالطِّيبُ يُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ.
