Note 2
(2) The statement: Eat what you wish and wear what you wish, etc.: Similar to this, it is said in Al-Alamkiriyya: The summary is that if someone does this out of pride, it is disliked, but if done out of need or necessity, it is not disliked. So it is in Al-Kafi.
Note 2
(٢) قوله: كل ما شئت والبس ما شئت إلخ: قريب من هذا ما قال في (العالمكيرية): وحاصله: أن من فعل شيئًا منذلك تكبرا فهو مكروه، ومن فعل ذلك لحاجة وضرورة لم يكره. كذا في (الكافي).
