Al-Kāfi|Volume 6|Book 5|Chapter 40
عَنْهُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَانَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ الضَّيْفُ أَكَلَ مَعَهُ وَ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ يَدَهُ مِنَ الْخِوَانِ حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ الضَّيْفُ يَدَهُ .
4. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Sulayman ibn Hafs from Ali ibn Ja‘far from his brother, Musa عليه السلام, has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, Musa عليه السلام, has said, that when a guest would come to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, he (the Messenger of Allah) would eat with him and would not stop eating before the guest did.’”
