قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي كَمْ أَدَّهِنُ قَالَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ مَرَّةً فَقُلْتُ إِذَنْ يَرَى النَّاسُ بِي خَصَاصَةً فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أُمَاكِسُهُ فَقَالَ فَفِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ مَرَّةً لَمْ يَزِدْنِي عَلَيْهَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Usman Bin Isa, from Is’haq Bin Jareer who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘How much shall I oil (massage)?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Once during every year’. So I said, ‘Then the people would look at me as a destitute’. So I did not cease bargaining with him<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So in every month, once’, and he<sup>asws</sup> did not increase over it’.
