Hadith 170

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub, (and) Al Nasawy in ‘Al Tareekh’ –
‘Nafie Bin Jubeyr said to Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, ‘You-asws are sitting with people other than us! ’ He-asws said to him: ‘I-asws am sitting with the one in whose sitting I-asws can benefit in my‑asws religion’. And it was said to him, ‘When you-asws are travelling, you-asws tend to conceal yourself-asws from the co-travellers’. He-asws said: ‘I-asws dislike to take – due to (my-asws nearness to) Rasool-Allah‑saww – what I-asws cannot give the likes of it’’. [223]
Al Aghany said, ‘Nafie said, ‘He-asws said: ‘I-asws have not eaten anything at all due to my-asws kinship of Rasool-Allah-saww’’. [224]
(The book) ‘Amaali’ – Abu Abdullah Al Neshapuri –
‘It was said to him-asws, ‘You-asws are more righteous of the people and you-asws are not eating with your-asws mother-as in one bowl, and she-as does want that! ’ He-asws said: ‘I-asws dislike it that my-asws hand might precede to what her-as eyes have preceded to, so I-asws would become disloyal to her-as’. It so happened after that, he-asws could cover the large bowl with a covering and insert his-asws hand from under the covering and eat’’. And he-asws had passed over a lump of mud in the middle of the road. He-asws descended from his-asws animal until he-asws set it aside by his-asws hand, away from the road’’. [225]
