1123. hadíth

وَ سَأَلَ سَمَاعَةُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَنْزِلُ عَلَى اَلرَّجُلِ وَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ أَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ فَقَالَ "نَعَمْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَ لاَ يَأْكُلُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً".

Sama'ah asked Abu Abdillah (a.s) about a man who stays with another man to whom he owes a debt. Is it permissible for him to eat from his food? Imam (a.s) said: "Yes, he may eat from his food for three days, but after that, he should not eat anything."
