عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَبْلَ الْغَدَاةِ وَ مَعَهُ كِسْرَةٌ قَدْ غَمَسَهَا فِي اللَّبَنِ وَ هُوَ يَأْكُلُ وَ يَمْشِي وَ بِلَالٌ يُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) .

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 that once the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, came out in the morning with a piece of bread in his hand which he had immersed in milk. He (the Messenger of Allah) walked while eating and Bilal said ‘Iqamah for Salat (prayer). He (the Messenger of Allah) then performed Salat (prayer) with people.”’

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْعَزْرَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الرَّجُلُ وَ هُوَ يَمْشِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ.

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from the one who narrated to him from ‘ Abd al- Rahman al-‘Arzamiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin has said, ‘It is not unlawful if a man eats while walking. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, ate while walking.’”
