وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ صَنَعَ لَنَا أَبُو حَمْزَةَ طَعَاماً وَ نَحْنُ جَمَاعَةٌ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوا رَأَى أَبُو حَمْزَةَ رَجُلاً يَنْهَكُ عَظْماً فَصَاحَ بِهِ وَ قَالَ لاَ تَفْعَلْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "لاَ تَنْهَكُوا اَلْعِظَامَ فَإِنَّ لِلْجِنِّ فِيهَا نَصِيباً فَإِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ ذَهَبَ مِنَ اَلْبَيْتِ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ".
It is narrated from Ali ibn Asbat, from his father, who said: "Abu Hamzah prepared food for us while we were a group. When the food was served, Abu Hamzah noticed a man excessively gnawing on a bone. He shouted at him and said: 'Do not do that! For I heard Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain (a.s) say: 'Do not excessively gnaw on bones, for the jinn have a share in them. And if you do so, something better for you than that will depart from your house.'"
