عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ فَلَا يَسْتَتْبِعَنَّ وَلَدَهُ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ فَعَلَ أَكَلَ حَرَاماً وَ دَخَلَ غَاصِباً .

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from af-Nawfafiy from af-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s), has said, ‘When one of you is invited for food do not allow your children to follow you, because in doing so he eats unlawfully and enters (the house of host) as a usurper.’”

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ عَنْ خَالِهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ مَنْ أَكَلَ طَعَاماً لَمْ يُدْعَ إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّمَا أَكَلَ قِطْعَةً مِنَ النَّارِ .

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Minqariy from his maternal uncle who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), saying, ‘If one eats a food to which he is not invited he eats a piece of fire.”’
