We like meat and our homes are not without meat. What should we do?” The Imam (s) said, “It does not mean what you thought. What is meant by meat is a house in which the people’s flesh is eaten by gossiping behind their back, and what is meant by a chubby person is one who is haughty and walks with his nose up in the air.”
