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 , 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.’”
