قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَكْرِمُوا الْخُبْزَ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا إِكْرَامُهُ قَالَ إِذَا وُضِعَ لَمْ يُنْتَظَرْ بِهِ غَيْرُهُ وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ مِنْ كَرَامَتِهِ أَنْ لَا يُوطَأَ وَ لَا يُقْطَعَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Talha Bin Zayd, from one of our companions who said, ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Honour the bread!’ So it was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! What is its honouring?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘When it is placed, do not wait with it for something else’. And Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘And from its honouring is that it should neither be trodden upon nor cut (into pieces before it is placed)’.
