وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِنَّ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ يَبْدَءُونَ بِالْخَلِّ فِي أَوَّلِ اَلطَّعَامِ وَ يَخْتِمُونَ بِالْمِلْحِ وَ إِنَّا نَبْدَأُ بِالْمِلْحِ فِي أَوَّلِ اَلطَّعَامِ وَ نَخْتِمُ بِالْخَلِّ".
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, said: "Indeed, the Banu Umayyah begin their meals with vinegar and end them with salt. Whereas we begin our meals with salt and end them with vinegar."
