Chapter on Eating and Drinking From Gold and Silver Utensils and Other Etiquettes of Eating
وَ رَوَى يُونُسُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ يُوسُفَ أَخِيهِ: أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اِسْتَسْقَى مَاءً فَأُتِيَ بِقَدَحٍ مِنْ صُفْرٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ جُلَسَائِهِ إِنَّ عَبَّادَ اَلْبَصْرِيَّ يَكْرَهُ اَلشُّرْبَ فِي اَلصُّفْرِ قَالَ "فَسَلْهُ أَ ذَهَبٌ هُوَ أَمْ فِضَّةٌ".
Yunus bin Yaqub narrated from his brother Yusuf: Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, once asked for water, and a vessel made of brass containing water was brought to him. One of those sitting with him said: "'Abbad al-Basri dislikes drinking from brass vessels." Imam عليه السلام said: "Then ask him, is it gold or silver?"
