عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ ذُكِرَتِ التُّمُورُ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ الْوَاحِدُ عِنْدَكُمْ أَطْيَبُ مِنَ الْوَاحِدِ عِنْدَنَا وَ الْجَمِيعُ عِنْدَنَا أَطْيَبُ مِنَ الْجَمِيعِ عِنْدَكُمْ .
16. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn al-Hakam who has said the following: “Once dates were mentioned before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, and he said, ‘One with you is better than one with us and all which are with us are better than all that are with you.’”
