وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي شُعْبَةَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَأْكُلُ مُتَّكِئاً ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَالَ "مَا أَكَلَ مُتَّكِئاً حَتَّى مَاتَ".
It is narrated from Umar ibn Abi Shu'bah who said: "I saw Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام eating while reclining. Then Imam عليه السلام mentioned the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and said: 'He never ate while reclining until he passed away.' "
