Ali ibn al-Hasan, from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Abi al-Jahm, from Abdullah ibn Maymun al-Qaddah, from Abu Abdillah Imam Ja’far (a.s) from his father, Imam al-Baqir (a.s), peace be upon them both, who said:
Imam (a.s) said: “Qanbar, the freed slave of Imam Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, came to Imam (a.s) with his food for breaking the fast.” Imam (a.s) said: “So he (Qanbar) came with a sack in which there was sawiq (porridge-like dish), upon which there was a seal. A man then said to Imam Ali (a.s): “O Commander of the Faithful (a.s), this is indeed miserliness, that you seal your food.’” Imam Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, laughed. Then Imam Ali (a.s) said: “Is it other than that? I do not like anything to enter my stomach except something whose path I know.” Then Imam Ali (a.s) broke the seal, took out some sawiq from it, placed some of it in a cup, and gave it to him (the man). Imam Ali (a.s) took the cup, and when he wanted to drink, he said: ‘In the name of Allah (swt). O Allah (swt), for You (swt) we have fasted, and upon Your (swt) provision we have broken our fast, so accept from us. Indeed, You (swt) are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.’” (Bismillah. Allahumma laka sumna, wa ‘ala rizqika aftarna, fa-taqabbal minna. Innaka anta al-sami‘u al-‘alim)
