قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا أَكَلَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ هُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ مُنْذُ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَتَشَبَّهَ بِالْمُلُوكِ وَ نَحْنُ لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَفْعَلَ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan, from Moala Bin Usman, from Moala Bin Khunays who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The Prophet<sup>saww</sup> of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> did not eat whilst leaning since Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Sent him<sup>saww</sup>, and he<sup>saww</sup> disliked that he<sup>saww</sup> resembles with the kings, and we (the public) are not able that we do it’.
