Hadith 28-73

حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الحَسَن بْنِ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ الوَلِيد رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الحَسَن الصَفَّار، عَن أَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الحَسَن بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ فضال، عَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ ِلجهم قالَ: سَمِعتُ أَبَا الحَسَن‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ يَقُولُ لا يَأْبَى الْكَرَامَةَ إِلا حِمَارٌ قُلْتُ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ الْكَرَامَةُ قَالَ مِثْلُ الطِّيبِ وَمَا يُكْرِمُ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَ.

Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Waleed - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Fadhdhal, on the authority of Ali ibn Al-Jahm that he had heard Abul Hassan Al-Ridha’ (a.s.) say, “No one but a donkey would reject honoring and respect.” Ali ibn Al-Jahm asked the Imam (a.s.), “What kind of honoring do you mean?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “I mean things like using good scent and any other form of honoring that one man might do for another.”
