دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَدَعَا بِالْغَدَاءِ فَأَكَلْتُ مَعَهُ طَعَاماً مَا أَكَلْتُ طَعَاماً قَطُّ أَنْظَفَ مِنْهُ وَ لَا أَطْيَبَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ قَالَ يَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ طَعَامَكَ أَوْ قَالَ طَعَامَنَا قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَطْيَبَ مِنْهُ وَ لَا أَنْظَفَ قَطُّ وَ لَكِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ الْآيَةَ الَّتِي فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَتُسْئَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) لَا إِنَّمَا تُسْأَلُونَ عَمَّا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Al jowhary, from Al Haris Bin Hareyz, from Sadeyr Al Sayrafi, from Abu Khalid Al Kalby who said, ‘I went over to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> called for the lunch. So I ate with him<sup>asws</sup> such food what I had not eaten at all, any cleaner than it, nor more aromatic. So when we were free from the meal, he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Abu Khalid! How did you view your food?’, or said: ‘Our<sup>asws</sup> food?’’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! I have not seen better than it, nor any cleaner at all, but I remember the Verse which is in the Book of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:102#h8"><a href="/books/quran:102#h8">[102:8]</a></a> Then on that Day you shall be Questioned about the Bounties</span>’. Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, but rather you would be Questioned what you are upon from the Truth’.
