مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) صَغِّرُوا رُغْفَانَكُمْ فَإِنَّ مَعَ كُلِّ رَغِيفٍ بَرَكَةًوَ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ يَقْطِينٍ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ يَعْنِي الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) يَكْسِرُ الرَّغِيفَ إِلَى فَوْقُ .
8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Tsa from Ya’qub ibn Yaqtin who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’ ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Make your bread of small loaves because there is blessing with each loaf.’ Ya‘qub ibn Yaqtin has said, ‘I saw abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, break the bread upward.’”
