8ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ دِعْبِلِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا وَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَأَخَذَهُ وَلَمْ يَحْمَدِ الله قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ لِمَ لَمْ تَحْمَدِ الله قَالَ ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ بَعْدُ عَلَى ابي جعفر وَأَمَرَ لِي بِشَيْءٍ فَقُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لله فَقَالَ لِي تَأَدَّبْتَ.

8. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Salj ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn al-Hakam who has said the following. “Di‘bil ibn Ali once went to see abu al-Hassan al-Rida and he ordered his people to give him a certain gift but he did thank Allah.” The narrator has said that the Imam said to him, “Why did you not thank Allah?” The narrator has said that then I went to see abu Ja‘far and ordered his people to give a gift and I said, “All praise belongs to Allah.” The Imam said, “You just demonstrated your discipline.”
