دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَأَخْرَجَ إِلَيَّ مَخْزَنَةً فِيهَا مِسْكٌ وَ قَالَ خُذْ مِنْ هَذَا فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً فَتَمَسَّحْتُ بِهِ فَقَالَ أَصْلِحْ وَ اجْعَلْ فِي لَبَّتِكَ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا فَجَعَلْتُهُ فِي لَبَّتِي فَقَالَ لِي أَصْلِحْ فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْهُ أَيْضاً فَمَكَثَ فِي يَدِي مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ صَالِحٌ فَقَالَ لِي اجْعَلْ فِي لَبَّتِكَ فَفَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) لَا يَأْبَى الْكَرَامَةَ إِلَّا حِمَارٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا مَعْنَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ الطِّيبُ وَ الْوِسَادَةُ وَ عَدَّ أَشْيَاءَ.
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Al Hassan Bin Jahm who said, ‘I went over to Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> brought out to me a perfume box in which was musk, and said: ‘Take from this’. So I took something from it, and I applied with it. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘More, and make it to be in your chest from it’. So I took a little from it and made it to be in my chest. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘More’. So I took from it again, and there remained something from it in my hand. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Make it to be in your chest’. So I did it. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No one refuses the prestige except for a donkey’. I said, ‘What is the meaning of that?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The perfume, and the pillow and a number of things’.
