1289. hadíth

وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «فَإِذٰا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُهٰا فَكُلُوا مِنْهٰا وَ أَطْعِمُوا اَلْقٰانِعَ وَ اَلْمُعْتَرَّ» قَالَ «اَلْقَانِعُ هُوَ اَلَّذِي يَقْنَعُ بِمَا تُعْطِيهِ وَ اَلْمُعْتَرُّ اَلَّذِي يَعْتَرِيكَ ».

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) was asked about the words of Allah (swt), the Exalted: "Then when they are down on their sides (after being sacrificed), eat from them and feed the contented one and the beggar." (Surah Al-Hajj 22:36) Imam (a.s) replied: "The 'contented one' is the one who accepts whatever you give him, and the 'beggar' is the one who approaches you asking."
