The Excellence of Bread

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ السَّيَّارِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَكْرِمُوا الْخُبْزَ قِيلَ وَ مَا إِكْرَامُهُ قَالَ إِذَا وُضِعَ لَا يُنْتَظَرُ بِهِ غَيْرُهُ .
4. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from al-Sayyariy from Ali ibn Asbat from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘You must treat bread with reverence.’ It was asked, ‘What is treating it with reverence?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘When it is made available one must not wait for others.’”
