1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Harun ibn al-Jahm who has said the following: “We were with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), in al-Hirah when he (the Imam) visited abu Ja‘far, al-Mansur, and one of his commanders had a circumcision feast for his child. Food was prepared and people were invited. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was one of the people invited. When he was on the table to have food from a group of people near by, a man asked for water but a bowl of wine was brought for him. When the bowl reached the hand of the man abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), stood up to leave the table. He (the Imam) was asked about the reason for getting up and he (the Imam) said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Condemned is one who sits on a table where wine is served.’ In another Hadith it is said, ‘Condemned is he, condemned is he who sits on a table voluntarily where wine is served.’”

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa, from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from al-Qasim ibn Sulayman from Jarrah al-Mad’iniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), 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, ‘Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment, must not eat at a table where wine exists.’”
