تَعَشَّيْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) بَعْدَ عَتَمَةٍ وَ كَانَ يَتَعَشَّى بَعْدَ عَتَمَةٍ فَأُتِيَ بِخَلٍّ وَ زَيْتٍ وَ لَحْمٍ بَارِدٍ فَجَعَلَ يَنْتِفُ اللَّحْمَ فَيُطْعِمُنِيهِ وَ يَأْكُلُ هُوَ الْخَلَّ وَ الزَّيْتَ وَ يَدَعُ اللَّحْمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا طَعَامُنَا وَ طَعَامُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ( عليهم السلام ) .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ubeyda Al Wasity, from Ajlan who said, ‘I had dinner with Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> after darkness, and he<sup>asws</sup> tended to have dinner after darkness. So they came with vinegar, and oil, and cold meat, so he<sup>asws</sup> went on to pluck the meat and feed it, and he<sup>asws</sup> (himself) would eat the vinegar, and the oil, and leave the meat. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This is our<sup>asws</sup> meal, and a meal of the Prophets<sup>as</sup>’.
