On Various Traditions From Imam Ali Ibn Musa al-Ridha صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم
67 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى العَطَّار، عَن أَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَن إِبْراهيمِ بْنِ إِسْحاق، عَن عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ أحْمَد، عَن إِسْمَاعِيل الخراسانِي عَنِ الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ لَيْسَ الْحِمْيَةُ مِنَ الشَّيْءِ تَرْكَهُ إِنَّمَا الْحِمْيَةُ مِنَ الشَّيْءِ الإِقْلالُ مِنْهُ.
28-67 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Ishaq, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Ahmad, on the authority of Isma’il al-Khorasani that Al-Ridha صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, “Abstaining from something does not imply abandoning it. Rather it implies doing it less often.”
