[9] عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كَثْرَةُ الْأَكْلِ مَكْرُوهٌ A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Baseer, Abu Abdullah -asws (6 th Imam) says: ‘كَثْرَةُ الْأَكْلِ مَكْرُوهٌ ’ Abundant eating is detested (owing to its harmful effects).

[10] The Mustahab: الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عِيسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ دَخَلَ أَبُو عُكَّاشَةَ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ عِنَباً وَ قَالَ لَهُ حَبَّةً حَبَّةً يَأْكُلُ الشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ وَ الصَّبِيُّ الصَّغِيرُ وَ ثَلَاثَةً وَ أَرْبَعَةً يَأْكُلُ مَنْ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ لَا يَشْبَعُ وَ كُلْهُ حَبَّتَيْنِ حَبَّتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ مُسْتَحَبٌّ Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Sandy, from Isa Bin Abdul Rahman, from his father, from his grandfather who said, ‘Abu Akasha Bin Mihsan Al-Asady came over to Abu Ja’far -asws , so he -asws forwarded some grapes to him and said to him: ‘One, one (at a time) is how the old man and the young children eat, and three or four (at a time) is how he eats, the one who things he is not satiated, and you eat two (at a time), for it is (likeable) beneficial ’.

[11] فَأَمَّا الْمُسْتَحَبُّ الَّذِي هُوَ قَصَدَ [هُ‏] الرَّجُلُ، وَ قَدْ نَابَ عَنْهُ مَنْ سَبَقَهُ‏ وَ اسْتَغْنَى عَنْهُ فَالدِّرْهَمُ بِسَبْعِمِائَةِ حَسَنَةٍ، كُلُّ حَسَنَةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا فِيهَا مِائَةَ أَلْفِ مَرَّةٍ (Ali Amir Al-Momineen -asws said) And as for ‘ الْمُسْتَحَبُّ ’ the beneficial , it is that which the man aims for, and there has been represented on his behalf the ones who preceded him, and there is no need for him (to fight), so the Dirham (spent) would be with seven hundred good Rewards, each Reward being better than the world and whatever is in it, by one hundred thousand times (an extract).
