10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Yasar al-Khadim who has said the following
“Abu al-Hassan al-Rida (a.s.), has said, ‘A generous person eats people’s food so that they eat his food. A stingy person does not eat people’s food so that they will not eat his food.’”
10ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ يَاسِرٍ الْخَادِمِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
السَّخِيُّ يَأْكُلُ طَعَامَ النَّاسِ لِيَأْكُلُوا مِنْ طَعَامِهِ وَالْبَخِيلُ لا يَأْكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامِ النَّاسِ لِئَلاَّ يَأْكُلُوا مِنْ طَعَامِهِ.
