4257 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ اَلْكِرْمَانِيِّ قَالَ : أَكَلْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ اَلثَّانِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغْتُ وَ رُفِعَ اَلْخِوَانُ ذَهَبَ اَلْغُلاَمُ يَرْفَعُ مَا وَقَعَ مِنْ فُتَاتِ اَلطَّعَامِ فَقَالَ لَهُ "مَا كَانَ فِي اَلصَّحْرَاءِ فَدَعْهُ وَ لَوْ فَخِذَ شَاةٍ وَ مَا كَانَ فِي اَلْبَيْتِ فَتَتَبَّعْهُ وَ اُلْقُطْهُ".

Hadith.4257 - It is narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Walid al-Kirmani: I ate in the presence of Abu Ja'far al-Thani Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Jawad (as). When I finished and the dining mat was lifted, a servant went to collect the crumbs of food that had fallen. Imam (as) said to him: "Whatever is in the open area, leave it even if it is the leg of a sheep, and whatever is inside the house, collect it and pick it up."
