82 - حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدِ بْنِ زِيادِ بْنِ جَعْفَر الْهَمَذانيّ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا عَلِىِّ بْنِ إِبراهِيمِ بْنِ هاشِم‏عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ معبد، عَن الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خالِد، عَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، عَن أَبِيهِ جَعْفَر عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، عَن أَبيهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّد عَلَيْهِ السَّـلامُ أَنَّهُ قـالَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لَيُبْغِضُ الْبَيْتَ اللَّحِمَ وَاللَّحِمَ السَّمِينَ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنُحِبُّ اللَّحْمَ وَلا تَخْلُو بُيُوتُنَا مِنْهُ فَكَيْفَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ لَيْسَ حَيْثُ تَذْهَبُ إِنَّمَا الْبَيْتُ اللَّحِمُ الْبَيْتُ الَّذِي يُؤْكَلُ فِيهِ لُحُومُ النَّاسِ بِالْغِيبَةِ وَأَمَّا اللَّحِمُ السَّمِينُ فَهُوَالْمُتَجَبِّرُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ الُْمخْتَالُ فِي مِشْيَتِهِ.

Translation

28-82 Ahmad ibn Ziyad ibn Ja’far al-Hamadani - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ali ibn Ma’bad, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Khalid, on the authority of Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha (s), on the authority of his father Musa ibn Ja’far (s), on the authority of his father Ja’far ibn Muhammad (s), “The Blessed theSublime God despises meat and chubby people.” One of his companions said, “O son of the Prophet of God! We like meat and our homes are not without meat. What should we do?” The Imam (s) said, “It does not mean what you thought. What is meant by meat is a house in which the people’s flesh is eaten by gossiping behind their back, and what is meant by a chubby person is one who is haughty and walks with his nose up in the air.”
