1. We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ibrahim bin Hashim, from his father, from Abdullah bin Mughaira, from Isma’eel bin Muslim al-Sukuni, from Ja’far bin Muhammed, from his father, from his fathers, from Ali, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: If the meal has gathered four traits, it is perfected: if it is from what is allowable; the number of hands upon it are many; Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, is named at its beginning; and that He is praised at its end.
