Chapter on Sacrificial Offerings
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 136
وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «فَإِذٰا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُهٰا فَكُلُوا مِنْهٰا وَ أَطْعِمُوا اَلْقٰانِعَ وَ اَلْمُعْتَرَّ» قَالَ «اَلْقَانِعُ هُوَ اَلَّذِي يَقْنَعُ بِمَا تُعْطِيهِ وَ اَلْمُعْتَرُّ اَلَّذِي يَعْتَرِيكَ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about the words of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted: "Then when they are down on their sides (after being sacrificed), eat from them and feed the contented one and the beggar." (Surah Al-Hajj 22:36) Imam عليه السلام replied: "The 'contented one' is the one who accepts whatever you give him, and the 'beggar' is the one who approaches you asking."
