The Source of Traditions on Imam al-Riḍā (Vol 1) · Hadith 275 (#Ḥadīth #67)

67 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى العَطَّار، عَن أَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَن إِبْراهيمِ بْنِ إِسْحاق، عَن عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ أحْمَد، عَن إِسْمَاعِيل الخراسانِي عَنِ الرِّضا a.sُ قالَ لَيْسَ الْحِمْيَةُ مِنَ الشَّيْءِ تَرْكَهُ إِنَّمَا الْحِمْيَةُ مِنَ الشَّيْءِ الإِقْلالُ مِنْهُ.

28-67 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Ishaq, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Ahmad, on the authority of Isma’il al-Khorasani that Al-Ridha (s) said, “Abstaining from something does not imply abandoning it. Rather it implies doing it less often.”
