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 a.sُ كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ a.sُ يَقُولُ لا يَأْبَى الْكَرَامَةَ إِلا حِمَارٌ قُلْتُ مَا مَعْنَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ التَّوْسِعَةُ فِي الَْمجْلِسِ وَالطِّيبُ يُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ.

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.”
