6. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn al-Sindiy who has said, that narrated to me ‘Isa ibn Ibrahim from his father from his grandfather who has said the following
“Once abu ‘Ukashah ibn Mihsan al-Asadiy visited abu Ja‘far (a.s.), then grapes were brought for him and he (the Imam) said to him, ‘An old man and small children eat one piece after one piece. Three and three pieces or four pieces at a time eating is the manner of a person who thinks that he cannot become satisfied but you can eat two pieces at a time because it is preferable.’”
الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عِيسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ
دَخَلَ أَبُو عُكَّاشَةَ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ عِنَباً وَ قَالَ لَهُ حَبَّةً حَبَّةً يَأْكُلُ الشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ وَ الصَّبِيُّ الصَّغِيرُ وَ ثَلَاثَةً وَ أَرْبَعَةً يَأْكُلُ مَنْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ لَا يَشْبَعُ وَ كُلْهُ حَبَّتَيْنِ حَبَّتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ مُسْتَحَبٌّ .
