The Excellence of Having Breakfast after Sunset with a Brother (in Belief)

5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْمَاضِي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَدْخُلُ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ وَهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ وَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ الْعَصْرَ وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَيَقُولُونَ أَفْطِرْ فَقَالَ أَفْطِرْ فَإِنَّهُ أَفْضَلُ.
5. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from ibn Jumhur from certain individuals of his people from Ali ibn Hadid who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, ‘I may visit a people after late afternoon prayer while I am fasting and they offer me food, saying, “discontinue your fast.’” He (the Imam) said, ‘Accept the offer; it is better.’”
