Chapter: The Inviolability of Food عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلا٠َا عَذَّبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَوْ٠ْ يَأْكُلُونَ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَكْرَ٠ِنْ أَنْ يَرْزُقَهُ٠ْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَفْرُغُوا ٠1.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Faddal from certain persons of our people who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ’Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has never made a people to undergo suffering while eating food. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, is honorable.

He does not give people sustenance, then make them to undergo suffering before they finish eating their food.’” رسل - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (22/78))
