حَدَّثَنِي عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ الْخُرُوجَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَأَمَرَ بِسُفْرَةٍ فَوُضِعَتْ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا فَقَالَ كُلُوا فَأَكَلْنَا فَقَالَ أَثْبَتُّمْ أَثْبَتُّمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُقَالُ اعْتَبِرْ حُبَّ الْقَوْمِ بِأَكْلِهِمْ قَالَ فَأَكَلْنَا وَ قَدْ ذَهَبَتِ الْحِشْمَةُ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Ismail Bin Mihran, from Sayf Bin Umeyra, from Abu Magra Al Ijaly, from Anbasa Bin Mus’ab who said, ‘We went over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> and he<sup>asws</sup> intended to go out to Makkah, so he<sup>asws</sup> ordered for the meal, and it was placed in front of us. So he<sup>asws</sup> said; ‘Eat’. So we ate, and he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You have confirmed, you have confirmed! It was said that the determination of the love of the people is by their eating’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So we ate, and the modesty was gone’.
