حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّه، عَن أَحْمَدِ بْنِ أَبي عَبْدِ اللَّه البَرْقِي، عَن‏ميسر، عَن أَبي زِيْد المالكي قالَ: سَمِعتُ أَبَا الحَسَن‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ يَقُولُ لا يَأْبَى الْكَرَامَةَ إِلا حِمَارٌ يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ فِي الطِّيبِ وَالْوِسَادَةِ

(The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Abi Abdillah al-Barqi, on the authority of Ali ibn Muyyasir, on the authority of Abi Zayd al-Maleki that he had heard Abul Hassan Al-Ridha’ (a.s.) say, “No one but a donkey would reject honoring and respect.” The Imam (a.s.) was referring to good scent and a comfortable couch for resting on.
