"فِي اَلْمَائِدَةِ اِثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ خَصْلَةً يَجِبُ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَعْرِفَهَا أَرْبَعٌ مِنْهَا فَرْضٌ وَ أَرْبَعٌ سُنَّةٌ وَ أَرْبَعٌ تَأْدِيبٌ فَأَمَّا اَلْفَرْضُ فَالْمَعْرِفَةُ وَ اَلرِّضَا وَ اَلتَّسْمِيَةُ وَ اَلشُّكْرُ وَ أَمَّا اَلسُّنَّةُ فَالْوُضُوءُ قَبْلَ اَلطَّعَامِ وَ اَلْجُلُوسُ عَلَى اَلْجَانِبِ اَلْأَيْسَرِ وَ اَلْأَكْلُ بِثَلاَثِ أَصَابِعَ وَ لَعْقُ اَلْأَصَابِعِ وَ أَمَّا اَلتَّأْدِيبُ فَالْأَكْلُ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ وَ تَصْغِيرُ اَللُّقْمَةِ وَ تَجْوِيدُ اَلْمَضْغِ وَ قِلَّةُ اَلنَّظَرِ فِي وُجُوهِ اَلنَّاسِ".
