Moula Ali (a.s)food---Once, after a days hard work, Imam Ali Ibn Abu Talib (a.s) was sitting under a tree and eating his barley bread and salt. A passsing beggar asked him for food. Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (as) readily offered to share what he was eating and gave the beggar a piece of bread. The old beggar found it difficult to chew and complained that the bread was too hard. Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (a.s) informed the beggar that he would get good hot food if he cared to go to Imam Hasans (a.s) house. When the beggar arrived at the given address, he found that a banquet was spread out and people were eating. Imam Hasan (a.s) invited the beggar to join them. He started eating and after a while he would eat one mouthful and put one mouthful in his bowl. Seeing this, Imam Hasan (a.s) said, Why are you putting food in your bowl? Have your fill and then you can take some more with you. The beggar replied, I am collecting some food for a man, who is eating dry barley bread and salt. Imam Hasan (a.s) smiled and said, That man is Imam Ali Ibn Abu Talib (a.s) and this house is his house.---
