قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) ضَمِنْتُ لِمَنْ يُسَمِّي عَلَى طَعَامِهِ أَنْ لَا يَشْتَكِيَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ الْكَوَّاءِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَقَدْ أَكَلْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ طَعَاماً فَسَمَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آذَانِي فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ أَكَلْتَ أَلْوَاناً فَسَمَّيْتَ عَلَى بَعْضِهَا وَ لَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَا لُكَعُ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Dawood Bin Farqad, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> guarantee for the one who Names (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>) upon his meal that he would not complain from it’. So Ibn Al-Kawwa said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>! I did eat a meal yesterday and I had Named (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>) over it, and it harmed me’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Perhaps you had a variety, so you Named upon some of it and did not Name upon some, O dimwit!’
