صَنَعَ لَنَا أَبُو حَمْزَةَ طَعَاماً وَ نَحْنُ جَمَاعَةٌ فَلَمَّا حَضَرْنَا رَأَى رَجُلًا يَنْهَكُ عَظْماً فَصَاحَ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ لَا تَنْهَكُوا الْعِظَامَ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا لِلْجِنِّ نَصِيباً وَ إِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ ذَهَبَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Al Haysam, from his father who said, ‘Abu Hamza made food for us and we were a group. So when we were presented (the meal), he saw a man stripping the bone and taking its marrow, so he shouted at him saying, ‘Do not do (it), for I heard Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Do not strip the bone (taking out the marrow) for therein is a share for the Jinn, and if you were to do it, there would go away from the house what is better than that’.
