عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الزَّائِرَ إِذَا زَارَ الْمَزُورَ فَأَكَلَ مَعَهُ أَلْقَى عَنْهُ الْحِشْمَةَ وَ إِذَا يَأْكُلُ مَعَهُ يَنْقَبِضُ قَلِيلًا .
3. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-’Aziz from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, saying, ‘When a visitor visits someone and eats with him, formality comes down, and when he eats with him (the visitor) feels constraint a little.’”
