باب عِلَلِ التَّحْرِيمِ

Chapter 1 – Reason for the Prohibition

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا أَيْضاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَخْبِرْنِي جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لِمَ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى الْخَمْرَ وَ الْمَيْتَةَ وَ الدَّمَ وَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether, from Amro Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from one of our companions,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws,

and a number of our companions as well, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Abdul Rahman Bin Salim, from Mufazzal Bin Umar who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah^-asws, ‘Inform me, may I be sacrificed for you^-asws, why did Allah^-azwj Blessed and High Prohibiting the wine, and the dead, and the blood, and the flesh of the swine?’

فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يُحَرِّمْ ذَلِكَ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَ أَحَلَّ لَهُمْ سِوَاهُ رَغْبَةً مِنْهُ فِيمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا زُهْداً فِيمَا أَحَلَّ لَهُمْ وَ لَكِنَّهُ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ وَ عَلِمَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا تَقُومُ بِهِ أَبْدَانُهُمْ وَ مَا يُصْلِحُهُمْ فَأَحَلَّهُ لَهُمْ وَ أَبَاحَهُ تَفَضُّلًا مِنْهُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لِمَصْلَحَتِهِمْ وَ عَلِمَ مَا يَضُرُّهُمْ فَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْهُ وَ حَرَّمَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ

So he^-asws said: ‘Allah^-azwj Glorious and High did not Prohibit that upon His^-azwj servants, and Permit for them besides it as a Desire from Him^-azwj with regards to what He^-azwj Prohibits upon them, nor as a Distaste with regards to what He^-azwj Permitted for them, but He^-azwj Created the creatures and the Mighty and Majestic Knows what their bodies stand by and what is correct for them. Thus, He^-azwj Permitted for them and Authorised it for them as a Grace from Him^-azwj the Blessed and High, upon them with it for their correctness; and He^-azwj Knows what harms them, so He^-azwj Forbade them from it, and Prohibited it upon them.

ثُمَّ أَبَاحَهُ لِلْمُضْطَرِّ وَ أَحَلَّهُ لَهُ فِي الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي لَا يَقُومُ بَدَنُهُ إِلَّا بِهِ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَنَالَ مِنْهُ بِقَدْرِ الْبُلْغَةِ لَا غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ

The He^-azwj Authorised it for the desperate and Permitted it for him during the time which his body would not be able to stand except by it. So, He^-azwj Commanded him to take from it by a measurement of the necessity, not other than that.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا الْمَيْتَةُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُدْمِنُهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ضَعُفَ بَدَنُهُ وَ نَحَلَ جِسْمُهُ وَ ذَهَبَتْ قُوَّتُهُ وَ انْقَطَعَ نَسْلُهُ وَ لَا يَمُوتُ آكِلُ الْمَيْتَةِ إِلَّا فَجْأَةً

Then he^-asws said: ‘As for the dead, so no one would be habitual with it except that it would weaken his body, and slims his body, and his strength goes away, and his lineage is cut-off, and the eater of the dead would not be dying except for suddenly.

وَ أَمَّا الدَّمُ فَإِنَّهُ يُورِثُ آكِلَهُ الْمَاءَ الْأَصْفَرَ وَ يُبْخِرُ الْفَمَ وَ يُنَتِّنُ الرِّيحَ وَ يُسِي‏ءُ الْخُلُقَ وَ يُورِثُ الْكَلَبَ وَ الْقَسْوَةَ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَ قِلَّةَ الرَّأْفَةِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ حَتَّى لَا يُؤْمَنَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ وَلَدَهُ وَ وَالِدَيْهِ وَ لَا يُؤْمَنَ عَلَى حَمِيمِهِ وَ لَا يُؤْمَنَ عَلَى مَنْ يَصْحَبُهُ

And as for the blood, so its consumer inherits the yellow water, and odour of the mouth, and stinking wind, and he would be of evil mannerisms, and intense thirst, and the hardness in the heart, and be with scarcity of the kindness and the mercy to the extent there is no safety that he would kill his children, and his parents, and there would be no safety upon his intimate one, nor would there be safety upon the one who accompanies him.

وَ أَمَّا لَحْمُ الْخِنْزِيرِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مَسَخَ قَوْماً فِي صُوَرٍ شَتَّى شِبْهِ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَ الْقِرْدِ وَ الدُّبِّ وَ مَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسُوخِ ثُمَّ نَهَى عَنْ أَكْلِهِ لِلْمَثُلَةِ لِكَيْلَا يَنْتَفِعَ النَّاسُ بِهَا وَ لَا يُسْتَخَفَّ بِعُقُوبَتِهَا

And as for the flesh of the swine, so Allah^-azwj Blessed and High Morphed a people in the variety of images resembling the pig, and the monkey, and the bear, and whatever was from the mutants. Then He^-azwj Forbade from eating it due to the resemblance that perhaps the people might avail themselves by it and would not belittle its consequences.

وَ أَمَّا الْخَمْرُ فَإِنَّهُ حَرَّمَهَا لِفِعْلِهَا وَ لِفَسَادِهَا وَ قَالَ مُدْمِنُ الْخَمْرِ كَعَابِدِ وَثَنٍ تُورِثُهُ الِارْتِعَاشَ وَ تَذْهَبُ بِنُورِهِ وَ تَهْدِمُ مُرُوءَتَهُ وَ تَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى أَنْ يَجْسُرَ عَلَى الْمَحَارِمِ مِنْ سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ وَ رُكُوبِ الزِّنَا فَلَا يُؤْمَنُ إِذَا سَكِرَ أَنْ يَثِبَ عَلَى حَرَمِهِ وَ هُوَ لَا يَعْقِلُ ذَلِكَ وَ الْخَمْرُ لَا يَزْدَادُ شَارِبُهَا إِلَّا كُلَّ سُوءٍ .

And as for the wine, so He^-azwj Prohibited it due to its impact and its corruption’. And he^-asws said: ‘The one habitual of the wine is like a worshipper of idols. He would inherit trembling, and his light would go away, and his manhood would be demolished, and it would carry him upon being audacious upon the Prohibitions from the shedding of the blood, and indulging in the adultery. So there is no safety, when he is intoxicated, that he would leap upon his sanctimonious family members and he has no intellect for that. And the wine does not increase its drinker except with every evil’.[1]

باب جَامِعٌ فِي الدَّوَابِّ الَّتِي لَا تُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهَا

Chapter 2 – The comprehensive regarding the animals whose flesh cannot be consumed

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بِسْطَامَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ هَيْثَمِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ مَا قَوْلُكَ فِي هَذَا السَّمَكِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ إِخْوَانُنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ أَنَّهُ حَرَامٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَقُولُ الْكُوفَةُ جُمْجُمَةُ الْعَرَبِ وَ رُمْحُ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ كَنْزُ الْإِيمَانِ فَخُذْ عَنْهُمْ أُخْبِرُكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَكَثَ بِمَكَّةَ يَوْماً وَ لَيْلَةً يَطْوِي ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ فَمَرَرْنَا بِرِفْقَةٍ جُلُوسٍ يَتَغَدَّوْنَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْغَدَاءَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَعَمْ أَفْرِجُوا لِنَبِيِّكُمْ

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Bastaam Bin Murra, from Is’haq in Hassan, from Haysam Bin Waqid, from Ali Bin Al Hassan Al Abady, from Abu Haroun,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Saeed Al-Khudry who was asked, ‘What is your word regarding this fish which our brethren from the people of Al-Kufa are alleging that it is Prohibited?’ So Abu Saeed said, ‘I heard Rasool-Allah^-saww saying: ‘Al-Kufa is the skull of the Arabs and spear of Allah^-azwj Blessed and High, and a treasure-hoard of faith, therefore take from them. I am informing you that Rasool-Allah^-saww remained at Makkah for a day and a night, hungry. Then he^-saww went out and we went out with him^-saww. So we passed by some friends who were seated eating lunch. So they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! The lunch!’ So he^-saww said to them: ‘Yes, make way for your Prophet^-saww’.

فَجَلَسَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ وَ جَلَسْتُ وَ تَنَاوَلَ رَغِيفاً فَصَدَعَ بِنِصْفِهِ ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى أُدْمِهِمْ فَقَالَ مَا أُدْمُكُمْ هَذَا فَقَالُوا الْجِرِّيثُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَرَمَى بِالْكِسْرَةِ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَ قَامَ

So he^-saww sat down in between two men, and I sat down, and we took a loaf and broke it in half. Then he^-saww looked at their sauce, so he^-saww said: ‘What is this sauce of yours?’ So they said, ‘The sea bass, O Rasool-Allah^-saww!’ So he^-saww threw down the piece from his^-saww hand and arose.

قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَ تَخَلَّفْتُ بَعْدَهُ لِأَنْظُرَ مَا رَأْيُ النَّاسِ فَاخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ حَرَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْجِرِّيثَ وَ قَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ لَمْ يُحَرِّمْهُ وَ لَكِنْ عَافَهُ فَلَوْ كَانَ حَرَّمَهُ لَنَهَانَا عَنْ أَكْلِهِ قَالَ فَحَفِظْتُ مَقَالَتَهُمْ وَ تَبِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) جَوَاداً حَتَّى لَحِقْتُهُ

Abu Saeed said, ‘And I stayed behind after it in order to view what the opinion of the people was. So the people differed regarding what was between them. A group said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww has Prohibited the sea bass’, and a group said, ‘He did not Prohibit it, but excused (himself^-saww from) it, for had he Prohibited it, he^-saww would have forbidden us from eating it’. So I memorised their discussion and followed Rasool-Allah^-saww trotting until I caught up with him^-saww.

ثُمَّ غَشِينَا رِفْقَةً أُخْرَى يَتَغَدَّوْنَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْغَدَاءَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ أَفْرِجُوا لِنَبِيِّكُمْ فَجَلَسَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ وَ جَلَسْتُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا أَنْ تَنَاوَلَ كِسْرَةً نَظَرَ إِلَى أُدْمِ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ مَا أُدْمُكُمْ هَذَا قَالُوا ضَبٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَرَمَى بِالْكِسْرَةِ وَ قَامَ

Then we came to other friends eating lunch, so they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! The lunch!’ So he^-saww said: ‘Yes, make way for your Prophet^-saww’. So he^-saww sat in between two men, and I sat down along with him^-saww. So when he^-saww took a piece, he^-saww looked at the sauce of the people, so he^-saww said: ‘What is this sauce of yours?’ They said, ‘Lizard, O Rasool-Allah^-saww!’ So he^-saww threw down the piece and arose.

قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَتَخَلَّفْتُ بَعْدُ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ فِرْقَتَانِ فَقَالَتْ فِرْقَةٌ حَرَّمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْهُ وَ قَالَتْ فِرْقَةٌ أُخْرَى إِنَّمَا عَافَهُ وَ لَوْ حَرَّمَهُ لَنَهَانَا عَنْ أَكْلِهِ ثُمَّ تَبِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حَتَّى لَحِقْتُهُ

Abu Saeed said, ‘So I stayed behind afterwards, so the people were divided into two sects. So a sect said, Rasool-Allah^-saww Prohibited it, therefore from now onwards, we should not be eating it’. And the other sect said, ‘But rather, he^-saww excused (himself^-saww from) it, but had he^-saww Prohibited it, he^-saww would have forbidden us from eating it’. Then I followed Rasool-Allah^-saww until I caught up with him^-saww.

فَمَرَرْنَا بِأَصْلِ الصَّفَا وَ بِهَا قُدُورٌ تَغْلِي فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ عَرَّجْتَ عَلَيْنَا حَتَّى تُدْرِكَ قُدُورَنَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ وَ مَا فِي قُدُورِكُمْ فَقَالُوا حُمُرٌ لَنَا كُنَّا نَرْكَبُهَا فَقَامَتْ فَذَبَحْنَاهَا فَدَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مِنَ الْقُدُورِ فَأَكْفَأَهَا بِرِجْلِهِ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ جَوَاداً وَ تَخَلَّفْتُ بَعْدَهُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ حَرَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَحْمَ الْحَمِيرِ وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ كَلَّا إِنَّمَا أَفْرَغَ قُدُورَكُمْ حَتَّى لَا تَعُودُوا فَتَذْبَحُوا دَوَابَّكُمْ

So we passed by the base of the (mount) Safa, and at it were cooking pots, boiling. So they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! If only you^-saww would stop by us until our pots are ready (with the meal)’. So he^-saww said to them: ‘What is in your pots?’ So they said, ‘A donkey of ours we were riding upon, and it stalled, so we slaughtered it’. So Rasool-Allah^-saww approached the cooking pots, so he^-saww thwacked it by his^-saww leg. Then he^-saww went away hurriedly, and I remained behind after it. So some of them said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww Prohibited the flesh of the donkey’, and some of them said, ‘Never! But rather, he^-saww destroyed your cooking pots until you would not repeat slaughtering your rides’.

قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِلَيَّ فَلَمَّا جِئْتُهُ قَالَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ ادْعُ لِي بِلَالًا فَلَمَّا جِئْتُهُ بِبِلَالٍ قَالَ يَا بِلَالُ اصْعَدْ أَبَا قُبَيْسٍ فَنَادِ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَرَّمَ الْجِرِّيَّ وَ الضَّبَّ وَ الْحَمِيرَ الْأَهْلِيَّةَ أَلَا فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ وَ لَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنَ السَّمَكِ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ لَهُ قِشْرٌ وَ مَعَ الْقِشْرِ فُلُوسٌ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مَسَخَ سَبْعَمِائَةِ أُمَّةٍ عَصَوُا الْأَوْصِيَاءَ بَعْدَ الرُّسُلِ فَأَخَذَ أَرْبَعُمِائَةٍ مِنْهُمْ بَرّاً وَ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ بَحْراً

Abu Saeed said, ‘So Rasool-Allah^-saww sent for me, so when I went over to him^-saww, he^-saww said: ‘O Abu Saeed! Call Bilal over for me^-saww’. So when Bilal came over, he^-saww said: ‘O Bilal! Ascend Abu Qubays, so call out upon it that Rasool-Allah^-saww has Prohibited the sea bass, and the lizard, and the domesticated donkeys. Indeed! Fear Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic and do not eat from the fish except what has peels for it, and with the peel being scales, for Allah^-azwj Blessed and High Morphed seven hundred communities who disobeyed the successor^-as after the Rasool^-saww, so four hundred of them were seized by the land, and three hundred of them were seized by the sea.

ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَجَعَلْناهُمْ أَحادِيثَ وَ مَزَّقْناهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ .

Then he^-saww recited this Verse [34:19] so We Made them as folklore and scattered them with a disintegration’.[2]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ كُلُّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ وَ مِخْلَبٍ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ حَرَامٌ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Dawood Bin Farqad,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘All the ones with fangs (pointed teeth) from the predatory animals, and claws from the birds, are Prohibited’.[3]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَالَ كُلُّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ وَ مِخْلَبٍ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ حَرَامٌ وَ قَالَ ( عليه السلام ) لَا تَأْكُلْ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ شَيْئاً.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘All the ones with fangs from the predatory animals, and claws from the birds, are Prohibited’. And he^-saww said: ‘Do not eat anything from the predators’.[4]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ يَعْنِي مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَ يَحِلُّ أَكْلُ لَحْمِ الْفِيلِ فَقَالَ لَا قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ قَالَ ( عليه السلام ) لِأَنَّهُ مَثُلَةٌ وَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْأَمْسَاخَ وَ لَحْمَ مَا مُثِّلَ بِهِ فِي صُوَرِهَا .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, form his father, from Amro Bin Usman, from Al Husayn Bin Khalid who said,

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan^-asws, meaning Musa^-asws Bin Ja’far^-asws, ‘Is it Permissible to eat the meat of the elephant?’ So he^-asws said: ‘No’. I said, ‘And why?’ He^-asws said: ‘Because it is a resemblance, and Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Prohibited the morphed ones, and the meat of what has been transformed by it in its image’.[5]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَكْلِ الضَّبِّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الضَّبَّ وَ الْفَأْرَةَ وَ الْقِرَدَةَ وَ الْخَنَازِيرَ مُسُوخٌ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws, said, ‘I asked him^-asws about eating the lizard. So he^-asws said: ‘The lizard, and the mouse, and the monkey, and the pigs, are morphed (creatures)’.[6]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ لَحْمِ الْكَلْبِ فَقَالَ هُوَ مَسْخٌ قُلْتُ هُوَ حَرَامٌ قَالَ هُوَ نَجَسٌ أُعِيدُهَا عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ هُوَ نَجَسٌ.

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Sahl Al Qurshy who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah^-asws about meat of the dog. So he^-asws said: ‘It is a morphed (creature)’. I said, ‘It is Prohibited?’ He^-asws said: ‘It is unclean’. I re-iterated over it three times, during each of that he^-asws was saying: ‘It is unclean’.[7]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَكْلَ كُلِّ ذِي حُمَةٍ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Gayas Bin Ibrahim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having disliked eating all those with a sting (scorpion etc.)’.[8]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْعَمْرَكِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْغُرَابِ الْأَبْقَعِ وَ الْأَسْوَدِ أَ يَحِلُّ أَكْلُهُمَا فَقَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ أَكْلُ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْغِرْبَانِ زَاغٍ وَ لَا غَيْرِهِ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Al Amraky Bin Ali,

(It has been narrated) from Ali son of Ja’far^-asws, from his brother^-asws Abu Al-Hassan^-asws, said, ‘I asked him^-asws about the speckled crows. And the black ones, is it to eat these two?’ So he^-asws said: ‘It is not Permissible to anything from the crows, ravens and others’.[9]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الطَّاوُسُ لَا يَحِلُّ أَكْلُهُ وَ لَا بَيْضُهُ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Bakr Bin Salih, from Suleyman Al Ja’fary,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws having said: ‘The peacock, it is not Permissible to eat it nor its eggs’.[10]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُمَا سَأَلَاهُ عَنْ أَكْلِ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَنْهَا وَ عَنْ أَكْلِهَا يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ وَ إِنَّمَا نَهَى عَنْ أَكْلِهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ حَمُولَةَ النَّاسِ وَ إِنَّمَا الْحَرَامُ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeur, from Umar Bin Azina, from Muhammad Bin Muslim and Zurara,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^-asws, both having asked him^-asws about eating the meat of the domesticated donkeys. He^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww forbade from it, and from eating it on the day of Khyber. But rather, he^-saww forbade from eating it during that time because it was a carrier of the people, and rather a Prohibition is what Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Prohibited in the Quran’.[11]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانُوا أَجْهَدُوا فِي خَيْبَرَ فَأَسْرَعَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي دَوَابِّهِمْ فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِإِكْفَاءِ الْقُدُورِ وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ إِنَّهَا حَرَامٌ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ إِبْقَاءً عَلَى الدَّوَابِّ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abu Al Jaroud,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^-asws, said, ‘I heard him^-asws saying that the Muslims were exhausted in Khyber, so were quick with regards to their animals. So Rasool-Allah^-saww ordered them with restraint of the cooking-pots (from these animals), and did not say that these are Prohibited, and that was a preservation upon the animals’.[12]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ عَمَّنْ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْخَيْلِ فَقَالَ لَا تَأْكُلْ إِلَّا أَنْ تُصِيبَكَ ضَرُورَةٌ وَ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ مَنَعَ أَكْلَهَا.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban Bin Taghlub, from the one who informed him,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws, said, ‘I asked him^-asws about meat of the cavalry horse. So he^-asws said: ‘Do not eat except if you are hit by necessity, and meat of the domesticated donkeys’ He^-asws said: ‘In the Book of Ali^-asws it is Forbidden to eat it’.[13]

أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحَمِيرِ فَقَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَنْ أَكْلِهَا يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan, from Ibn Muskan who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah^-asws about meat of the donkeys. So he^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww forbade from eating it on the day of Khyber’.

قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَكْلِ الْخَيْلِ وَ الْبِغَالِ فَقَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَنْهَا فَلَا تَأْكُلُوهَا إِلَّا أَنْ تُضْطَرُّوا إِلَيْهَا .

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him^-asws about eating the cavalry horse, and the mules. So he^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww forbade from it, therefore do not eat it, except if you are desperate for it’.[14]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الْفِيلُ مَسْخٌ كَانَ مَلِكاً زَنَّاءً وَ الذِّئْبُ مَسْخٌ كَانَ أَعْرَابِيّاً دَيُّوثاً وَ الْأَرْنَبُ مَسْخٌ كَانَتِ امْرَأَةً تَخُونُ زَوْجَهَا وَ لَا تَغْتَسِلُ مِنْ حَيْضِهَا وَ الْوَطْوَاطُ مَسْخٌ كَانَ يَسْرِقُ تُمُورَ النَّاسِ وَ الْقِرَدَةُ وَ الْخَنَازِيرُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اعْتَدَوْا فِي السَّبْتِ وَ الْجِرِّيثُ وَ الضَّبُّ فِرْقَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا حَيْثُ نَزَلَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ عَلَى عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ( عليه السلام ) فَتَاهُوا فَوَقَعَتْ فِرْقَةٌ فِي الْبَحْرِ وَ فِرْقَةٌ فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْفَأْرَةُ فَهِيَ الْفُوَيْسِقَةُ وَ الْعَقْرَبُ كَانَ نَمَّاماً وَ الدُّبُّ وَ الزُّنْبُورُ كَانَتْ لَحَّاماً يَسْرِقُ فِي الْمِيزَانِ .

Muhammad Bin Yaya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Al Ashary,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws having said: ‘The elephant is a morphed (creature), it was an adulterous king; and the wolf was morphed, it was a Bedouin pimp; and the rabbit was morphed, it was a woman who betrayed her husband, and did not wash from her menstruations; and the bat was morphed, it was (a thief) stealing dates of the people; and the monkey and the pigs were a people from the Children of Israel, having exceeded in the Sabbath; and the sea bass and the lizard were a sect from the Children of Israel who did not believe when the meal was descended upon Isa^-as Bin Maryam^-as, so they strayed and a sect fell into the sea, and a sect in the land; and the mouse, so it was an immoral woman; and the scorpion was a malicious gossiper; and the bear and the wasp were butchers who used to steal (cheat) in the weighing’.[15]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الْوَاسِطِيِّ قَالَ سُئِلَ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْغُرَابِ الْأَبْقَعِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَا يُؤْكَلُ وَ قَالَ وَ مَنْ أَحَلَّ لَكَ الْأَسْوَدَ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Abu Yahya Al Wasity who said,

‘(Imam) Al-Reza^-asws was asked about the speckled crows. So he^-asws said: ‘It cannot be eaten’. And he^-asws said: ‘And who Permitted to you, the black (crow)?’[16]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الطَّاوُسُ مَسْخٌ كَانَ رَجُلًا جَمِيلًا فَكَابَرَ امْرَأَةَ رَجُلٍ مُؤْمِنٍ تُحِبُّهُ فَوَقَعَ بِهَا ثُمَّ رَاسَلَتْهُ بَعْدُ فَمَسَخَهُمَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ طَاوُسَيْنِ أُنْثَى وَ ذَكَراً وَ لَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ وَ لَا بَيْضُهُ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Bakr Bin Salih, from Suleyman Al Ja’fary,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws having said: ‘The peacock was morphed, and it was a handsome man, so he insisted stubbornly a wife of a Believing man who loved him. So he have uniond with her, then (she) sent messages to him (inviting him) afterwards. So Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Morphed both of them as peacocks, female and male, and neither eat their meats, nor their eggs’.[17]

باب آخَرُ مِنْهُ وَ فِيهِ مَا يُعْرَفُ بِهِ مَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ وَ مَا لَا يُؤْكَلُ

Chapter 3 – Another Chapter from it, and in it is what is recognised with what can be eaten from the birds and what cannot be eaten

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْمَأْكُولِ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ وَ الْوَحْشِ فَقَالَ حَرَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كُلَّ ذِي مِخْلَبٍ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ وَ كُلَّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ الْوَحْشِ

Ali Bin Ibrahim, form his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Sama’at Bin Mihran who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah^-asws about the edible from the birds, and the wild beasts. So he^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww Prohibited everything with claws from the birds, and everything with fangs from the wild beasts’.

فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ مِنَ السَّبُعِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا سَمَاعَةُ السَّبُعُ كُلُّهُ حَرَامٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ سَبُعاً لَا نَابَ لَهُ وَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) هَذَا تَفْصِيلًا وَ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ رَسُولُهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْمُسُوخَ جَمِيعَهَا فَكُلِ الْآنَ مِنْ طَيْرِ الْبَرِّ مَا كَانَتْ لَهُ حَوْصَلَةٌ وَ مِنْ طَيْرِ الْمَاءِ مَا كَانَ لَهُ قَانِصَةٌ كَقَانِصَةِ الْحَمَامِ لَا مَعِدَةٌ كَمَعِدَةِ الْإِنْسَانِ وَ كُلُّ مَا صَفَّ وَ هُوَ ذُو مِخْلَبٍ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ وَ الصَّفِيفُ كَمَا يَطِيرُ الْبَازِي وَ الصَّقْرُ وَ الْحِدَأَةُ وَ مَا أَشْبَهَ ذَلِكَ وَ كُلُّ مَا دَفَّ فَهُوَ حَلَالٌ وَ الْحَوْصَلَةُ وَ الْقَانِصَةُ يُمْتَحَنُ بِهَا مِنَ الطَّيْرِ مَا لَا يُعْرَفُ طَيَرَانُهُ وَ كُلُّ طَيْرٍ مَجْهُولٍ .

So I said, ‘The people are saying, ‘From the predators’. So he^-asws said to me: ‘O Sama’at! The predators, all of them are Prohibited, even if it was a predator with no fangs for it, and rather, Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘This is decisive’. And Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww Prohibited the morphed (creatures) in their entirety. So now, eat from a bird of the land what had a craw for it, and from a bird of the sea what had a gizzard for it like a gizzard of the dove, not a stomach like the stomach of a human; and every (bird) which flies in town and is with a claw, so it is Prohibited, and the array is like the flying of the hawks, and the falcons and the buzzards, and what resembles that; and every (bird) who flaps so it is Permissible, and the craws and the gizzard is what is examined by it from the birds what is not recognised by its flight, and every unknown flier’.[18]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ الطَّيْرُ مَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنْهُ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ قَانِصَةٌ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws, said, ‘I said to him^-asws, ‘The birds, what can one eat from these?’ So he^-asws said: ‘Do not eat from these what does not have a gizzard for it’.[19]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ الزَّيَّاتِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَطُّ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنِّي سَأَلْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ مَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ فَقَالَ كُلْ مَا دَفَّ وَ لَا تَأْكُلْ مَا صَفَّ قُلْتُ الْبَيْضُ فِي الْآجَامِ فَقَالَ مَا اسْتَوَى طَرَفَاهُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْهُ وَ مَا اخْتَلَفَ طَرَفَاهُ فَكُلْ قُلْتُ فَطَيْرُ الْمَاءِ قَالَ مَا كَانَتْ لَهُ قَانِصَةٌ فَكُلْ وَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ قَانِصَةٌ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ali Al Ziyat, from Zurara who said,

‘By Allah^-azwj! I have not seen the likes of Abu Ja’far^-asws at all, and that is because I asked him^-asws, so I said, ‘May Allah^-azwj Keep you^-asws well! What can one eat from the birds?’ So he^-asws said: ‘Eat what flaps (its wings) and do not eat what arrays (its wings)’. I said, ‘The eggs in the bushes?’ So he^-asws said: ‘What is equal in its sides (rounded) so do not eat it, and what is different is its sides (oblong) so eat’. I said, ‘So (what about) the birds of the water?’ He^-asws said: ‘What has a gizzard for it, so eat, and what does not have a gizzard for it, so do not eat’.[20]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كُلْ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ مَا كَانَتْ لَهُ قَانِصَةٌ وَ لَا مِخْلَبَ لَهُ

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Eat from the bird what had a gizzard for it, but no claw for it’.

قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ طَيْرِ الْمَاءِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ .

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him^-asws about the birds of the water, so he^-asws said: ‘Similar to that’.[21]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كُلْ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ مَا كَانَتْ لَهُ قَانِصَةٌ أَوْ صِيصِيَةٌ أَوْ حَوْصَلَةٌ .

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Fazal, from Ibn Bukeyr,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Eat from the birds what had a gizzard for it, or spur of a chick, or a craw’.[22]

بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ ابْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي أَكُونُ فِي الْآجَامِ فَيَخْتَلِفُ عَلَيَّ الطَّيْرُ فَمَا آكُلُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ كُلْ مَا دَفَّ وَ لَا تَأْكُلْ مَا صَفَّ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أُوتَى بِهِ مَذْبُوحاً فَقَالَ كُلْ مَا كَانَتْ لَهُ قَانِصَةٌ .

One of our companions, from Ibn jamhour, from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim, form Abdullah Bin Abu Yafour who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah^-asws, ‘I happened to be in the bushes, so there was an interchange of different birds upon me. So what can I eat from these?’ So he^-asws said: ‘Eat what flaps (its wings), and do not eat what arrays (its wings)’. So I said, ‘I am brought with (birds) as slaughtered’. So he^-asws said ‘Eat what had a craw for it’.[23]

باب مَا يُعْرَفُ بِهِ الْبَيْضُ

Chapter 4 – What the eggs are recognised by

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ( عليهما السلام ) قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ أَجَمَةً فَوَجَدْتَ بَيْضاً فَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ إِلَّا مَا اخْتَلَفَ طَرَفَاهُ .

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from one of the two (5th or 6th Imam^-asws) having said: ‘When you enter into the bushes, so you find eggs, so do not eat from it except what differs in its sides (oblong)’.[24]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الزَّيَّاتِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) الْبَيْضُ فِي الْآجَامِ فَقَالَ مَا اسْتَوَى طَرَفَاهُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ وَ مَا اخْتَلَفَ طَرَفَاهُ فَكُلْ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ali Bin Zayyat, from Zurara who said,

‘I said to Abu Ja’far^-asws, ‘The eggs in the bushes’. So he^-asws said: ‘Whatever is equal in his sides (rounded), so do not eat, and what is different in its sides (oblong), so eat’.[25]

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ يَعْنِي أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَدْخُلُ الْأَجَمَةَ فَيَجِدُ فِيهَا بَيْضاً مُخْتَلِفاً لَا يَدْرِي بَيْضُ مَا هُوَ أَ بَيْضُ مَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ أَوْ يُسْتَحَبُّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِيهِ عَلَماً لَا يَخْفَى انْظُرْ إِلَى كُلِّ بَيْضَةٍ تَعْرِفُ رَأْسَهَا مِنْ أَسْفَلِهَا فَكُلْ وَ مَا يَسْتَوِي فِي ذَلِكَ فَدَعْهُ .

From him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara, from Abu Al Khattab who said,

‘I asked him^-asws, meaning Abu Abdullah^-asws, about a man who entered the bushes, so he found different eggs therein. He does not know whose eggs these are (laid by), what is disliked from the birds or liked. So he^-asws said: ‘Therein are signs which are not hidden. Look at each egg, recognise its top from its bottom, so eat, and whatever is equal in that (rounded), so leave it’.[26]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ كُلْ مِنَ الْبَيْضِ مَا لَمْ يَسْتَوِ رَأْسَاهُ وَ قَالَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ بَيْضِ طَيْرِ الْمَاءِ مِثْلَ بَيْضِ الدَّجَاجِ وَ عَلَى خِلْقَتِهِ أَحَدُ رَأْسَيْهِ مُفَرْطَحٌ وَ إِلَّا فَلَا تَأْكُلْ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah^-asws saying: ‘Eat from the eggs what is not equal to its top (oblong)’. And he^-asws said: ‘(Eat) what was from an egg from the bird of the water, like the egg of the chicken, and upon its creation one of its end is wider, or else do not eat’.[27]

بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي أَكُونُ فِي الْآجَامِ فَيَخْتَلِفُ عَلَيَّ الْبَيْضُ فَمَا آكُلُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ كُلْ مِنْهُ مَا اخْتَلَفَ طَرَفَاهُ .

One of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Jamhour, from Muhammad Bin al Qasim, from Ibn Abu Yafour who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah^-asws, ‘I happen to be in the bushes, so I come by different eggs, so what can I eat from these?’ So he^-asws said: ‘Eat from it what is different in its sides (oblong)’.[28]

باب الْحَمَلِ وَ الْجَدْيِ يَرْضِعَانِ مِنْ لَبَنِ الْخِنْزِيرَةِ

Chapter 5 – The (baby) lamb and the kid (baby goat) breast-feeding from the milk of the female pig

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ عِنْدَهُ عَنْ جَدْيٍ يَرْضِعُ مِنْ خِنْزِيرَةٍ حَتَّى كَبِرَ وَ شَبَّ وَ اشْتَدَّ عَظْمُهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلًا اسْتَفْحَلَهُ فِي غَنَمِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ لَهُ نَسْلٌ فَقَالَ أَمَّا مَا عَرَفْتَ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ بِعَيْنِهِ فَلَا تَقْرَبَنَّهُ وَ أَمَّا مَا لَمْ تَعْرِفْهُ فَكُلْهُ فَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْجُبُنِّ وَ لَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْهُ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hanan Bin Sudeyr who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws was asked and I was there in his^-asws presence, about a baby goat which was breast-fed from a female pig until it was big, and a youth, and its bones were strong. Then a man grew him among his flock, so there came out a lineage for it. So he^-asws said: ‘As for what is recognised from its lineage exactly, so do not go near it, and as for what is not recognised, so eat it, for it is at the status of the cheese, and do not ask about it’.[29]

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws regarding a baby goat who was breast-fed from a female pig, then it was connected among the flock. He^-asws said: ‘It is at the status of the cheese. So whatever is recognised as being connected with it, so do not eat it, and whatever is not recognised, so eat it’.[30]

‘He^-asws said: ‘Do not eat from the meat of a baby lamb breast-fed from the milk of a female pig’.[31]

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad who said,

‘I wrote to him^-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^-asws from every evil! A woman breast-fed a baby female goat until she weaned it, and it grew big, and the stallion struck her, then she gave birth. Is it allowable to eat its flesh, and its milk?’ So he^-asws wrote: ‘A  harmful deed (of the woman), but there is no problem with it (its milk or meat)’.[32]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws that Amir Al-Momineen^-asws was asked about a baby goat sustained by the milk of a female pig. So he^-asws said: ‘Confine it, and feed it the produce, and the kernels, and the barley, and the bread, if it was needless from the milk. So if it was not needless from the milk, so attach it to the udder of a sheep for seven days, then eat from its flesh’.[33]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Yahya Al Wasity, raising it, said,

‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws passed by the butcher, so he^-asws forbade them from selling seven things from the sheep. He^-asws forbade them from selling the blood, and the glands, and the two ears of the heart (ventricles), and the spleen, and the spine, and the testicles, and the penis’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ الْقَصَّابِينَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا الْكَبِدُ وَ الطِّحَالُ إِلَّا سَوَاءٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ كَذَبْتَ يَا لُكَعُ ائْتُونِي بِتَوْرَيْنِ مِنْ مَاءٍ أُنَبِّئْكَ بِخِلَافِ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَأُتِيَ بِكَبِدٍ وَ طِحَالٍ وَ تَوْرَيْنِ مِنْ مَاءٍ

So one of the butchers said to him^-asws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^-asws! What is the liver and the spleen except as being the same?’ So he^-asws said to him: ‘You are lying, O dimwit! Bring me two containers of water, I^-asws shall inform you with the difference what is between these two’. So they came with a liver and a spleen, and two containers of water.

فَقَالَ ( عليه السلام ) شُقُّوا الطِّحَالَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِ وَ شُقُّوا الْكَبِدَ مِنْ وَسَطِهِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ ( عليه السلام ) فَمُرِسَا فِي الْمَاءِ جَمِيعاً فَابْيَضَّتِ الْكَبِدُ وَ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْهُ وَ لَمْ يَبْيَضَّ الطِّحَالُ وَ خَرَجَ مَا فِيهِ كُلُّهُ وَ صَارَ دَماً كُلُّهُ حَتَّى بَقِيَ جِلْدُ الطِّحَالِ وَ عِرْقُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ هَذَا خِلَافُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا هَذَا لَحْمٌ وَ هَذَا دَمٌ .

So he^-asws said: ‘Cut the spleen from its middle, and cut the liver from its middle’. Then he^-asws instructed, so they immersed both these in the water together. So the liver whitened and there was nothing deficient from it, and the spleen did not whiten, and whatever was inside it, all of it came out and became blood, all of it, until there remain the skin of the spleen and its veins. So he^-asws said to him: ‘This is the difference what is between these two, this (liver) is flesh and this (spleen) is blood’.[47]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ الْكَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا عِنْدَهُ يَوْماً عَنْ قَطْعِ أَلَيَاتِ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِقَطْعِهَا إِذَا كُنْتَ تُصْلِحُ بِهَا مَالَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّ مَا قُطِعَ مِنْهَا مَيْتٌ لَا يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ .

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Al Kahily who said,

‘One day a man asked Abu Abdullah^-asws and I was in his^-asws presence about cutting off the tails of the sheep. So he^-asws said: ‘There is no problem with cutting it when it corrects with it’. Then he^-asws said: ‘In the Book of Ali^-asws is: ‘Whatever is cut-off from it is dead, do not benefit by it’.[52]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي أَلَيَاتِ الضَّأْنِ تُقْطَعُ وَ هِيَ أَحْيَاءٌ إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘With regards the tails of the lambs, you cut it and she (lamb) is alive and it (the tail) is dead’.[53]

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَبَلِ تَثْقُلُ عِنْدَهُمْ أَلَيَاتُ الْغَنَمِ فَيَقْطَعُونَهَا فَقَالَ حَرَامٌ هِيَ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَنَصْطَبِحُ بِهَا فَقَالَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ يُصِيبُ الْيَدَ وَ الثَّوْبَ وَ هُوَ حَرَامٌ .

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali who said,

 ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan^-asws, so I said to him^-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^-asws! The people of the mountains, the tails of the sheep get heavy in their presence so they are cutting these off’. So he^-asws said: ‘It is Prohibited’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^-asws! We are lighting the fires with these’. So he^-asws said: ‘But do you not know that if it hits the hand and the clothes, and it is Prohibited?’[54]

 مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ وَ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي رَجُلٍ ضَرَبَ غَزَالًا بِسَيْفِهِ حَتَّى أَبَانَهُ أَ يَأْكُلُهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا يَلِي الرَّأْسَ ثُمَّ يَدَعُ الذَّنَبَ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, and Yahya Bin Al Mubarak, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Is’haq Bin Ammar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws regarding a man who struck a gazelle with his sword until he cut it into two. Can he eat it?’ He^-asws said: ‘Yes, he can eat from what follows the head, then leave the tail’.[55]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ رُبَّمَا رَمَيْتُ بِالْمِعْرَاضِ فَأَقْتُلُ فَقَالَ إِذَا قَطَعَهُ جَدْلَيْنِ فَارْمِ بِأَصْغَرِهِمَا وَ كُلِ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ إِنِ اعْتَدَلَا فَكُلْهُمَا .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Fazl Al Nowfaly, from his father, from one of our companions,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws, said, ‘I said to him^-asws, ‘Sometimes I shoot with the blunt arrow, so I kill’. So he^-asws said: ‘When it is cut into two parts, so throw away the smaller part and eat the larger, and if they are both the same, so eat them both’.[56]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا رَفَعَهُ فِي الظَّبْيِ وَ حِمَارِ الْوَحْشِ يُعْتَرَضَانِ بِالسَّيْفِ فَيُقَدَّانِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِأَكْلِهِمَا مَا لَمْ يَتَحَرَّكْ أَحَدُ النِّصْفَيْنِ فَإِنْ تَحَرَّكَ أَحَدُهُمَا لَمْ يُؤْكَلِ الْآخَرُ لِأَنَّهُ مَيْتَةٌ.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al nazar Bin Suweyd, from one of our companions, raising it,

‘With regards to the antelope and the wild donkey hunted by the sword, so they are both cut, so he^-asws said: ‘There is no problem with eating both of them for as long as one of the two halves is not moving. So if one of the two is moving, the other one would not be eaten as it is dead’.[57]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي الرَّجُلِ يَضْرِبُ الصَّيْدَ فَيَقُدُّهُ نِصْفَيْنِ قَالَ يَأْكُلُهُمَا جَمِيعاً فَإِنْ ضَرَبَهُ وَ أَبَانَ مِنْهُ عُضْواً لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ مَا أَبَانَ [مِنْهُ] وَ أَكَلَ سَائِرَهُ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Gayas Bin Ibrahim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws regarding the man who struck the hunted prey, so he cut it in two halves. He^-asws said: ‘Eat both of them together. So if he struck it and a part of it was cut off from it, he would not eat from it what has been cut off from it, and eat the rest of it’.[58]

باب مَا يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ وَ مَا لَا يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ مِنْهَا

Chapter 9 – What can be benefited with from the dead, and what cannot be benefitted with from it

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِساً فِي مَسْجِدِ الرَّسُولِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ قُلْتُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ فَقُلْتُ مَا حَاجَتُكَ فَقَالَ لِي أَ تَعْرِفُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَمَا حَاجَتُكَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ هَيَّأْتُ لَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ مَسْأَلَةً أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْهَا فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ حَقٍّ أَخَذْتُهُ وَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ بَاطِلٍ تَرَكْتُهُ قَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُ مَا بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَ الْبَاطِلِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَمَا حَاجَتُكَ إِلَيْهِ إِذَا كُنْتَ تَعْرِفُ مَا بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَ الْبَاطِلِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ مَا تُطَاقُونَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَأَخْبِرْنِي

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Abu Hamz Al Sumaly who said,

‘I was seated in Masjid of Rasool^-saww when a man came over, so I greeted. So he said, ‘Who are you, O servant of Allah^-azwj?’ I said, ‘A man from the People of Al-Kufa. What is your need?’ So he said to me, ‘Do you know Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali^-asws?’ So I said, ‘Yes, so what is your need to him^-asws?’ He said, ‘I have brought forty questions to him^-asws to ask him^-asws about these, so whatever was from truth I shall take it, and whatever was from falsehood I shall leave it’. Abu Hamza said, ‘So I said to him, ‘Do you recognised what (difference there) is between the truth and the falsehood?’ He said, ‘Yes’. So I said to him, ‘So what is your need for him^-asws when you recognise what (difference there) is between the truth and the falsehood?’ So he said so me, ‘O people of Al-Kufa! You all are a people who cannot be tolerated. When you see Abu Ja’far^-asws, so inform me’.

فَمَا انْقَطَعَ كَلَامِي مَعَهُ حَتَّى أَقْبَلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ حَوْلَهُ أَهْلُ خُرَاسَانَ وَ غَيْرُهُمْ يَسْأَلُونَهُ عَنْ مَنَاسِكِ الْحَجِّ فَمَضَى حَتَّى جَلَسَ مَجْلِسَهُ وَ جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ قَرِيباً مِنْهُ قَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ فَجَلَسْتُ حَيْثُ أَسْمَعُ الْكَلَامَ وَ حَوْلَهُ عَالَمٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى حَوَائِجَهُمْ وَ انْصَرَفُوا الْتَفَتَ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ أَنَا قَتَادَةُ بْنُ دِعَامَةَ الْبَصْرِيُّ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَنْتَ فَقِيهُ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ

So I did not speak to him until Abu Ja’far^-asws came over, and around him^-asws were the people of Khurasan and others, asking him^-asws about the rituals of the Hajj. So I went until I was seated in his^-asws gathering and the man sat near to him^-asws. Abu Hamza said, ‘So I sat where I could hear the speech, and around him^-asws there was a world of people (many). So when he^-asws had fulfilled their needs and they dispersed, he^-asws turned towards the man, so he^-asws said to him: ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘I am Qatada Bin Diama Al-Basry’. So Abu Ja’far^-asws said to him: ‘You are a jurist of the people of Al-Basra?’ He said, ‘Yes’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَيْحَكَ يَا قَتَادَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ خَلَقَ خَلْقاً مِنْ خَلْقِهِ فَجَعَلَهُمْ حُجَجاً عَلَى خَلْقِهِ فَهُمْ أَوْتَادٌ فِي أَرْضِهِ قُوَّامٌ بِأَمْرِهِ نُجَبَاءُ فِي عِلْمِهِ اصْطَفَاهُمْ قَبْلَ خَلْقِهِ أَظِلَّةً عَنْ يَمِينِ عَرْشِهِ

So Abu Ja’far^-asws said to him: ‘Woe be unto you, O Qatada! Allah^-azwj Majestic and Mighty Created a people from His^-azwj creatures, so He^-azwj Made them as Proofs upon His^-azwj creatures. So they^-asws are the pegs in His^-azwj earth, standing by His^-azwj Commands, excelling in His^-azwj Knowledge, having Chosen them^-asws before His^-azwj creatures as shadows on the right of the Throne’.

قَالَ فَسَكَتَ قَتَادَةُ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ جَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْفُقَهَاءِ وَ قُدَّامَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَمَا اضْطَرَبَ قَلْبِي قُدَّامَ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا اضْطَرَبَ قُدَّامَكَ قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَيْحَكَ أَ تَدْرِي أَيْنَ أَنْتَ أَنْتَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَ يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ فِيها بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ الْآصالِ. رِجالٌ لا تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجارَةٌ وَ لا بَيْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَ إِقامِ الصَّلاةِ وَ إِيتاءِ الزَّكاةِ فَأَنْتَ ثَمَّ وَ نَحْنُ أُولَئِكَ

He (Abu Hamza) said, ‘Qatada was silent for a long time, then said, ‘May Allah^-azwj Keep you well! By Allah^-azwj, I have sat in front of the jurist, and in front of Ibn Abbas, by my heart did not shake in front of any of them what it has shaken in front of you^-asws’. Abu Ja’far^-asws said to him: ‘Woe be unto you! Do you know where you are? You are in front of [24:36] houses which Allah has Allowed to be Exalted and that His Name may be Mentioned in them; Glorifying Him therein in the mornings and the evenings [24:37] Men whom neither merchandise nor selling diverts from the Remembrance of Allah and the keeping up of Prayer and the giving of Zakat. So you are therein and we^-asws are them^-asws’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ قَتَادَةُ صَدَقْتَ وَ اللَّهِ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا هِيَ بُيُوتُ حِجَارَةٍ وَ لَا طِينٍ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْجُبُنِّ قَالَ فَتَبَسَّمَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) ثُمَّ قَالَ رَجَعَتْ مَسَائِلُكَ إِلَى هَذَا قَالَ ضَلَّتْ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ رُبَّمَا جُعِلَتْ فِيهِ إِنْفَحَةُ الْمَيِّتِ قَالَ لَيْسَ بِهَا بَأْسٌ إِنَّ الْإِنْفَحَةَ لَيْسَ لَهَا عُرُوقٌ وَ لَا فِيهَا دَمٌ وَ لَا لَهَا عَظْمٌ إِنَّمَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ فَرْثٍ وَ دَمٍ

So Qatada said to him^-asws, ‘You^-asws have spoken the truth, by Allah^-azwj, may Allah^-azwj Make me to be sacrificed for you! By Allah^-azwj, these are neither houses of stones nor of clay’. Qatada said, ‘So inform me about the cheese’. He (Abu Hamza) said, ‘So Abu Ja’far^-asws smiled, then said: ‘You questions have reverted to this?’ He said, ‘(It is) lost upon me’. So he^-asws said: ‘There is no problem with it’. So he said, ‘Sometimes they put rennet of the dead in it?’ He^-asws said: ‘There is no problem with it. The rennet, there are no veins for it, nor is there blood in it, nor does it have bones for it, but rather it is extracted from between the bowels and blood’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ إِنَّمَا الْإِنْفَحَةُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ دَجَاجَةٍ مَيْتَةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ مِنْهَا بَيْضَةٌ فَهَلْ تُؤْكَلُ تِلْكَ الْبَيْضَةُ فَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ لَا وَ لَا آمُرُ بِأَكْلِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ لِمَ فَقَالَ لِأَنَّهَا مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ قَالَ لَهُ فَإِنْ حُضِنَتْ تِلْكَ الْبَيْضَةُ فَخَرَجَتْ مِنْهَا دَجَاجَةٌ أَ تَأْكُلُهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكَ الْبَيْضَةَ وَ حَلَّلَ لَكَ الدَّجَاجَةَ

Then he^-asws said: ‘But rather, the rennet is at the status of a dead chicken from which an egg is extracted, so would you eat that egg?’ So Qatada said, ‘No, and I would not instruct with eating it’. So Abu Ja’far^-asws said to him: ‘And why (not)?’ So he said, ‘Because it is from the dead’. He^-asws said to him: ‘So if that egg incubates, so a chicken comes out from it, would you eat it?’ He said, ‘Yes’.  He^-asws said: ‘So what Prohibits the egg upon you and Permits the chicken for you?’

ثُمَّ قَالَ ( عليه السلام ) فَكَذَلِكَ الْإِنْفَحَةُ مِثْلُ الْبَيْضَةِ فَاشْتَرِ الْجُبُنَّ مِنْ أَسْوَاقِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ أَيْدِي الْمُصَلِّينَ وَ لَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِيَكَ مَنْ يُخْبِرُكَ عَنْهُ .

Then he^-asws said: ‘So that rennet is like the egg. So buy the cheese from the markets of the Muslim, from the hand of the Praying one, and do not ask about it except if there comes to you one who informs you about it (that it is from the non-belivers)’.[59]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْهُمْ ( عليهم السلام ) قَالُوا خَمْسَةُ أَشْيَاءَ ذَكِيَّةٌ مِمَّا فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ الْخَلْقِ الْإِنْفَحَةُ وَ الْبَيْضَةُ وَ الصُّوفُ وَ الشَّعْرُ وَ الْوَبَرُ لَا بَأْسَ بِأَكْلِ الْجُبُنِّ كُلِّهِ مِمَّا عَمِلَهُ مُسْلِمٌ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ وَ إِنَّمَا يُكْرَهُ أَنْ يُؤْكَلَ سِوَى الْإِنْفَحَةِ مِمَّا فِي آنِيَةِ الْمَجُوسِ وَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَتَوَقَّوْنَ الْمَيْتَةَ وَ الْخَمْرَ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ismail Bin Marrar, from Yunus,

(It has been narrated) from them^-asws having said: ‘Five things are pure from wherein is benefit for the people – the rennet, and the egg, and the wool, and the hair, and the fur. There is no problem with eating the cheese, all of these from what the Muslim had made, or others, and rather it is disliked to eat besides the rennet from what is in the vessels of the Magians, and the People of the Book, because they do not consider the dead and the wine’.[60]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَبِي يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ اللَّبَنِ مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ وَ الْبَيْضَةِ مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ وَ إِنْفَحَةِ الْمَيْتَةِ فَقَالَ كُلُّ هَذَا ذَكِيٌّ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَشَعْرُ الْخِنْزِيرِ يُعْمَلُ حَبْلًا وَ يُسْتَقَى بِهِ مِنَ الْبِئْرِ الَّتِي يُشْرَبُ مِنْهَا أَوْ يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهَا قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Al Husayn Bin Zurara who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah^-asws and my father asked him^-asws about the milk from the dead, and the eggs from the dead, and rennet of the dead. So he^-asws said: ‘All this is clean’. So I said to him^-asws, ‘So the hair of the pig by which a rope is made, (water) is drawn by it from the well from which it is drunk, or ablution performed from it?’ He^-asws said: ‘There is no problem with it’.

وَ زَادَ فِيهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رِبَاطٍ قَالَ وَ الشَّعْرُ وَ الصُّوفُ كُلُّهُ ذَكِيٌّ .

And there increased in it Ali Bin Uqba, and Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ribat, He^-asws said: ‘And the hair and the wool, all of it is clean’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الشَّعْرُ وَ الصُّوفُ وَ الْوَبَرُ وَ الرِّيشُ وَ كُلُّ نَابِتٍ لَا يَكُونُ مَيْتاً قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْبَيْضَةِ تُخْرَجُ مِنْ بَطْنِ الدَّجَاجَةِ الْمَيْتَةِ قَالَ تَأْكُلُهَا .

And in a report of Safwan, from Al Husayn Bin Zurara,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘The hair, and the wool, and the fur, and the feathers, and everything which grows does not happen to be dead’. And I asked him^-asws about the eggs extracted from the belly of the dead chicken. He^-asws said: ‘You can eat it’.[61]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لِزُرَارَةَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ اللَّبَنُ وَ اللِّبَأُ وَ الْبَيْضَةُ وَ الشَّعْرُ وَ الصُّوفُ وَ الْقَرْنُ وَ النَّابُ وَ الْحَافِرُ وَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يُفْصَلُ مِنَ الشَّاةِ وَ الدَّابَّةِ فَهُوَ ذَكِيٌّ وَ إِنْ أَخَذْتَهُ مِنْهَا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَمُوتَ فَاغْسِلْهُ وَ صَلِّ فِيهِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareyz who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said to Zurara and Muhammad Bin Muslim: ‘The milk, and the colostrums, and the eggs, and the hair, and the wool, and the horns, and the teeth, and the hooves, and everything separated from the sheep and the animals, so it is clean, and if it is taken from it after it has died, so wash it and Pray in it’.[62]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي بَيْضَةٍ خَرَجَتْ مِنِ اسْتِ دَجَاجَةٍ مَيْتَةٍ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْبَيْضَةُ اكْتَسَتِ الْجِلْدَ الْغَلِيظَ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهَا .

So when one of you eats food, so let him make a third of his belly for the food, and a third of his belly for the drink, and a third of his belly for the breathing, and do not fatten yourselves like the fattening of the pigs for the slaughter’.[114]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا ( عليهما السلام ) عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُناحٌ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ أَوْ بُيُوتِ آبائِكُمْ أَوْ بُيُوتِ أُمَّهاتِكُمْ الْآيَةَ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمْتَ أَوْ أَكَلْتَ مِمَّا مَلَكْتَ مَفَاتِحَهُ مَا لَمْ تُفْسِدْهُ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al Qasim Bin Urwa, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from Zurara who said,

‘I asked one of the two (5th or 6th Imam^-asws) about this Verse [24:61] nor is there blame on the sick, nor on yourselves that you eat from your houses, or your fathers’ houses or your mothers’ houses – the Verse. He^-asws said: ‘There is no blame on you regarding what you eat and consume from what you possess its keys for as long as you do not spoil it’.[154]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَوْ ما مَلَكْتُمْ مَفاتِحَهُ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ لَهُ وَكِيلٌ يَقُومُ فِي مَالِهِ فَيَأْكُلُ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws regarding the Words of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic [24:61] or what you possess the keys of, he^-asws said: ‘The man who happens to have a representative for him standing among his wealth, so he eats without his permission’.[155]

Chapter 32 – A Chapter

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ دَخَلْنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ نَحْنُ جَمَاعَةٌ فَدَعَا بِالْغَدَاءِ فَتَغَدَّيْنَا وَ تَغَدَّى مَعَنَا وَ كُنْتُ أَحْدَثَ الْقَوْمِ سِنّاً فَجَعَلْتُ أَقْصُرُ وَ أَنَا آكُلُ فَقَالَ لِي كُلْ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ تُعْرَفُ مَوَدَّةُ الرَّجُلِ لِأَخِيهِ بِأَكْلِهِ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, form his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim who said, ‘We went over, along with Ibn Abu Yafour,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws, and we were a group. So he^-asws called for the breakfast, and we had breakfast and he^-asws had breakfast with us, and I was the youngest of the group in age, so I was cautious in my eating. So he^-asws said to me: ‘Eat (well)! Do you not know that the cordiality of the man for his brother is recognised by his eating from his food?’[156] 

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ أَكَلْنَا مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَأُوتِينَا بِقَصْعَةٍ مِنْ أَرُزٍّ فَجَعَلْنَا نُعَذِّرُ فَقَالَ ( عليه السلام ) مَا صَنَعْتُمْ شَيْئاً إِنَّ أَشَدَّكُمْ حُبّاً لَنَا أَحْسَنُكُمْ أَكْلًا عِنْدَنَا

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from a man from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said,

‘We ate with Abu Abdullah^-asws, and we were brought a bowl of rice. So we went on excusing ourselves, so he^-asws said: ‘What thing are you doing? The one of you with the most intense love for us^-asws, is the best of you in eating with us^-asws’. 

قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَرَفَعْتُ كُسْحَةَ الْمَائِدَةِ فَأَكَلْتُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ الْآنَ وَ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أُهْدِيَ إِلَيْهِ قَصْعَةُ أَرُزٍّ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَدَعَا سَلْمَانَ وَ الْمِقْدَادَ وَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ فَجَعَلُوا يُعَذِّرُونَ فِي الْأَكْلِ فَقَالَ مَا صَنَعْتُمْ شَيْئاً أَشَدُّكُمْ حُبّاً لَنَا أَحْسَنُكُمْ أَكْلًا عِنْدَنَا فَجَعَلُوا يَأْكُلُونَ أَكْلًا جَيِّداً

Abdul Rahman (the narrator) said, ‘So I raised the covering of the meal, so I ate. So he^-asws said: ‘Yes, now’, and he^-asws started narrating that: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww was gifted a bowl of rice from the area of the Helpers. So he^-saww called over Salman^-as, and Al-Miqdad^-as, and Abu Dharr^-as, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with them^-as. So they went on excusing themselves regarding the eating. So he^-saww said: ‘What thing are you^-as doing? The most intense of you^-as all in love for us^-saww is the best of you^-as all in eating with us^-asws’. So they went on to eat well’. 

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ .

Then Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘May Allah^-azwj have Mercy on them^-ra, and may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with them^-ra, and Send Blessings upon them^-as’.[157]

Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Mhaboub, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from isa Bin Abu Mansour who said,

‘I ate in the presence of Abu Abdullah^-asws, so he^-asws went on to place the roast in front of me, then said: ‘O Isa! Determine the love of the man by his eating from the food of his brother’.[158]

Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundr, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from a number of our companions, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Abdullah Bin Suleyman Al Sayrafi who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abu Abdullah^-asws, so he^-asws forwarded some food towards us in which was a roast and some things after it. Then he^-asws came over with a bowl in which was rice. So I ate with him^-asws. So he^-asws said: ‘Eat’. I said, ‘I have eaten’. So he^-asws said: ‘Eat, for the determination of the love of the man for his brother by his extension in his eating’. Then he^-asws marked for me a marking by his^-asws finger in the bowl, so he^-asws said to me: ‘You should eat (up to) that’, after I had already eaten. So I ate it’.[159]

Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Ismail Bin Mihran, from Sayf Bin Umeyra, from Abu Magra Al Ijaly, from Anbasa Bin Mus’ab who said,

‘We went over to Abu Abdullah^-asws and he^-asws intended to go out to Makkah, so he^-asws ordered for the meal, and it was placed in front of us. So he^-asws said; ‘Eat’. So we ate, and he^-asws said: ‘You have confirmed, you have confirmed! It was said that the determination of the love of the people is by their eating’.

قَالَ فَأَكَلْنَا وَ قَدْ ذَهَبَتِ الْحِشْمَةُ .

He (the narrator) said, ‘So we ate, and the modesty was gone’.[160]

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ قَالَ دَعَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) بِطَعَامٍ فَأُتِيَ بِهَرِيسَةٍ فَقَالَ لَنَا ادْنُوا فَكُلُوا قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ يَقْصُرُونَ فَقَالَ ( عليه السلام ) كُلُوا فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَبِينُ مَوَدَّةُ الرَّجُلِ لِأَخِيهِ فِي أَكْلِهِ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلْنَا نُغِصُّ أَنْفُسَنَا كَمَا تَغَصُّ الْإِبِلُ .

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Yunus, from Abu Al Rabie who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws called for the meal, so they came with mash. So he^-asws said to us: ‘Approach, so eat’. So the group went on being reserve. So he^-asws said: ‘Eat, for the warmth of the man for his brother is manifested in his eating with him’. So we went on to gorge ourselves like the gorging of the camels’.[161]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from one of our companions who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws would sometimes feed us Al-Farany, and Al-Akhbasa, then he^-asws would feed the bead and the oil. So it was said to him^-asws, ‘If only you^-asws would manage your^-asws affairs until you equalise it’. So he^-asws said: ‘But rather we^-asws manage by the Command of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic. So when He^-azwj Expands for us, we^-asws expand, and when He^-azwj Rations upon us^-asws, we^-asws ration accordingly’.[162]

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Al Halby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Three things there is no Reckoning over these – The Believer for the food he eats, and clothes that he wears, and a righteous wife aiding him, and by her he protects his chastity’.[163]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) جَمَاعَةً فَدَعَا بِطَعَامٍ مَا لَنَا عَهْدٌ بِمِثْلِهِ لَذَاذَةً وَ طِيباً وَ أُوتِينَا بِتَمْرٍ نَنْظُرُ فِيهِ إِلَى وُجُوهِنَا مِنْ صَفَائِهِ وَ حُسْنِهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ عَنْ هَذَا النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي نُعِّمْتُمْ بِهِ عِنْدَ ابْنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله )

A number of our companion, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Abu saeed, from Abu Hamza who said,

‘We were in the presence of Abu Abdullah^-asws as a group, so he^-asws called for the meal what in our time had never been any more delicious like it, and good, and came to us with dates, such that we kept looking at it and to our faces, from their cleanliness, and beauty. So a man said, ‘We would be Questioned about these Bounties which we have been favoured with in the presence of a son^-asws of Rasool-Allah^-saww’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَكْرَمُ وَ أَجَلُّ مِنْ أَنْ يُطْعِمَكُمْ طَعَاماً فَيُسَوِّغَكُمُوهُ ثُمَّ يَسْأَلَكُمْ عَنْهُ وَ لَكِنْ يَسْأَلُكُمْ عَمَّا أَنْعَمَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) .

So Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic is more Benevolent and Majestic that He^-azwj would Feed you food, so you justify it, then He^-azwj would Question you about it. But, He^-azwj would Question you about what He^-azwj has Favoured upon you by with Muhammad^-saww and the Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww’.[164]

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘There is no extravagance regarding the meal’.[165]

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Al jowhary, from Al Haris Bin Hareyz, from Sadeyr Al Sayrafi, from Abu Khalid Al Kalby who said,

‘I went over to Abu Ja’far^-asws, so he^-asws called for the lunch. So I ate with him^-asws such food what I had not eaten at all, any cleaner than it, nor more aromatic. So when we were free from the meal, he^-asws said: ‘O Abu Khalid! How did you view your food?’, or said: ‘Our^-asws food?’’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^-asws! I have not seen better than it, nor any cleaner at all, but I remember the Verse which is in the Book of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic [102:8] Then on that Day you shall be Questioned about the Bounties’. Abu Ja’far^-asws said: ‘No, but rather you would be Questioned what you are upon from the Truth’.[166]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Al Hakam, from Shihab Bin Abd Rabbih who said,

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from one of our companions who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan Musa^-asws banqueted a wedding feast over one of his^-asws sons, so he^-asws fed the people of Al-Medina Al-Falouzajaat for three days in the cooking in the Masjids and the alleyways. Some of the people of Al-Medina refused (to eat), so (the news of) that reached him^-asws, so he^-asws said: ‘Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic did not Grant anything to a Prophet^-as from His^-azwj Prophets^-as except He^-azwj Granted Muhammad^-saww similar to it, and Increased it by what He^-azwj did not Grant them^-as.

قَالَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ ( عليه السلام ) هذا عَطاؤُنا فَامْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسابٍ وَ قَالَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ ما آتاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَ ما نَهاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا .

He^-azwj Said to Suleyman^-as [38:39] This is Our Gift, therefore give out freely or withhold, without measure; and Said for Muhammad^-saww [59:7] and whatever the Rasool gives you, accept it, and from whatever he forbids you, keep back’.[168]

Thus, that is the aroma which you smell, due to that’.[172]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Zurara,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^-asws, said, ‘Al-Abrash al-Kalby asked him^-asws about the Words of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic [14:48] The Day when the earth shall be Changed into a different earth. He^-asws said: ‘It would be turned into pure bread. The people would eat from it until they are free from the Reckoning’.

قَالَ الْأَبْرَشُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَفِي شُغُلٍ عَنِ الْأَكْلِ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) هُمْ فِي النَّارِ لَا يَشْتَغِلُونَ عَنْ أَكْلِ الضَّرِيعِ وَ شُرْبِ الْحَمِيمِ وَ هُمْ فِي الْعَذَابِ فَكَيْفَ يَشْتَغِلُونَ عَنْهُ فِي الْحِسَابِ .

Al-Abrash said, ‘I said, ‘The people on that Day would be too pre-occupied from the eating’. So Abu Ja’far^-asws said: ‘They would be in the Fire, not being too pre-occupied from eating the thorny bushes and drinking the scalding water, and they would be in the Punishment, so how would they be too pre-occupied from it during the Reckoning?’.[192]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ ابْنَ آدَمَ أَجْوَفَ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham, from Zurara,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the son of Adam^-as as hollow’.[193]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّمَا بُنِيَ الْجَسَدُ عَلَى الْخُبْزِ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ali Bin Al Hassan Al Taymi, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Biin Hakeym, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed, from Al Waleed Bin Sabeeh,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘But rather, the body is built upon the bread’.[194]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ قَالَ تُبَدَّلُ خُبْزَةً نَقِيَّةً يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا النَّاسُ حَتَّى يَفْرُغُوا مِنَ الْحِسَابِ

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from al Wasim Bin Urwat, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from Zurara who said,

‘I asked Abu Ja’far^-asws about the Words of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic [14:48] The Day when the earth shall be Changed into a different earth. He^-asws said: ‘It would be changed into pure bread. The people would be eating from it until they are free from the Reckoning’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِي شُغُلٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ الْأَكْلِ وَ الشُّرْبِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ ابْنَ آدَمَ أَجْوَفَ وَ لَا بُدَّ لَهُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَ الشَّرَابِ أَ هُمْ أَشَدُّ شُغُلًا يَوْمَئِذٍ أَمْ مَنْ فِي النَّارِ فَقَدِ اسْتَغَاثُوا وَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ وَ إِنْ يَسْتَغِيثُوا يُغاثُوا بِماءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوهَ بِئْسَ الشَّرابُ .

So a speaker said to him^-asws, ‘They would be in an occupation on that Day (too pre-occupied) from the eating and the drinking’. So he^-asws said: ‘Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the son of Adam^-as as hollow, and there is no escape for him from the food and the drink. Would they be in a more intense occupation on that Day or the ones in the Fire? So they would be crying for it, and Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying [18:29] and if they cry for water, they shall be given water like molten brass which will scald their faces; evil is the drink’.[195]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حِكَايَةً عَنْ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) رَبِّ إِنِّي لِما أَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ فَقَالَ سَأَلَ الطَّعَامَ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws regarding the Words of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, a narrative about Musa^-as [28:24] My Lord! Surely I stand in need of whatever good You may Send down upon me. So he^-asws said: ‘He^-as asked for the food’.[196]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي الْخُبْزِ وَ لَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُ فَلَوْ لَا الْخُبْزُ مَا صُمْنَا وَ لَا صَلَّيْنَا وَ لَا أَدَّيْنَا فَرَائِضَ رَبِّنَا عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Abu Al Bakhtary, raising it, said:

‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Bless us in the bread, and do not Cause separation between us and it, for had there not been for the bread, neither would we have (been able to) Fast, nor Pray, nor fulfill the Obligations of our Lord^-azwj Mighty and Majestic’.[197]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّمَا بُنِيَ الْجَسَدُ عَلَى الْخُبْزِ .

Muhammad Bin yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl BiN Shazaan, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed, from Al Waleed Bin Sabeeh,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘But rather, the body is built upon the bread’.[198]

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ali Bin Asbat, from Yaqoub Bin salim, from Al Musny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Yaqoub^-asws had a caller for him^-as who used to call out every lunchtime from his^-as house up to a Farsakh, ‘Indeed! The one who wants the lunch, so let him come to the house of Yaqoub^-as!’ And when it was evening he would call out, ‘Indeed! The one who wants the dinner, so let him come to the house of Yaqoub^-as!’[199]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي شِهَابِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا أَلْقَى مِنَ الْأَوْجَاعِ وَ التُّخَمِ فَقَالَ لِي تَغَدَّ وَ تَعَشَّ وَ لَا تَأْكُلْ بَيْنَهُمَا شَيْئاً فَإِنَّ فِيهِ فَسَادَ الْبَدَنِ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيها بُكْرَةً وَ عَشِيًّا .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar, Bin Suweyd, from Ali Bin Al Salt, from a cousin of Shahaab Bin Abd Rabbih who said,

‘I complained to Abu Abdullah^-asws what I faced from the pains and the indigestion. So he^-asws said to me: ‘Have lunch and the dinner and do not eat anything between the two, for therein is the spoiling of the body. Have you not heard Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Saying [19:62] and they shall have their sustenance therein morning and evening?’[200]

Chapter 45 – Description of the ablution before the meal

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الْوُضُوءُ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ يَبْدَأُ صَاحِبُ الْبَيْتِ لِئَلَّا يَحْتَشِمَ أَحَدٌ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ بَدَأَ بِمَنْ عَنْ يَمِينِ صَاحِبِ الْبَيْتِ حُرّاً كَانَ أَوْ عَبْداً

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Ajlan,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘The ablution before the meal, the owner of the house begins, perhaps someone is embarrassed. So when (everyone) is free from the meal, he begins with the one on his right of the owner of the house, be he a freeman or a slave’.

قَالَ وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ يَغْسِلُ أَوَّلًا رَبُّ الْبَيْتِ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ يَبْدَأُ بِمَنْ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ وَ إِذَا رُفِعَ الطَّعَامُ بَدَأَ بِمَنْ عَلَى يَسَارِ صَاحِبِ الْمَنْزِلِ وَ يَكُونُ آخِرُ مَنْ يَغْسِلُ يَدَهُ صَاحِبَ الْمَنْزِلِ لِأَنَّهُ أَوْلَى بِالصَّبْرِ عَلَى الْغَمَرِ .

He (the narrator) said, ‘And in another Hadeeth: ‘First the lord of the house would wash his hands, then he would begin with the upon his right. And when the meal is raised, he would begin with the one upon his left of the owner of the house, and it would happen that the last one to wash his hands would be the owner of the house, because he was the first with the patience upon the stains’.[218]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ خَلَفِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ اغْسِلُوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ فِي إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ تَحْسُنْ أَخْلَاقُكُمْ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Khalaf Bin Hammad, from Amro Bin Sabit,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Washing your hands in one vessel would improve your manners’.[219]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ يُونُسَ قَالَ لَمَّا تَغَدَّى عِنْدِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ جِي‏ءَ بِالطَّسْتِ بُدِئَ بِهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ كَانَ فِي صَدْرِ الْمَجْلِسِ فَقَالَ ( عليه السلام ) ابْدَأْ بِمَنْ عَلَى يَمِينِكَ فَلَمَّا تَوَضَّأَ وَاحِدٌ أَرَادَ الْغُلَامُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ الطَّسْتَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) دَعْهَا وَ اغْسِلُوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ فِيهَا .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Fazl Bin Al Mubarak, from Al Fazl Bin Yunus who said,

‘When Abu Al-Hassan^-asws had lunch with me, and I came with the washing tray to begin with him^-asws, and he^-asws was in the centre of the gathering, so he^-asws said: ‘Begin with the one upon your right’. So when one had performed ablution, the slave intended that he raise the tray, so Abu Al-Hassan^-asws said to him: ‘Leave it, and wash your hands in it’.[220]

Chapter 46 – The towel and wiping of the face after the ablution

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا غَسَلْتَ يَدَكَ لِلطَّعَامِ فَلَا تَمْسَحْ يَدَكَ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا تَزَالُ الْبَرَكَةُ فِي الطَّعَامِ مَا دَامَتِ النَّدَاوَةُ فِي الْيَدِ .

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Abu Mahmoud, from his father, from a man who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘When you have washed your hands for the meal, so do not wipe your hand with the towel, for the Blessings do not cease in the meal for as long as the moisture is in the hand’.[221]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ لَمْ يَمَسَّ الْمِنْدِيلَ وَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ بَعْدَ الطَّعَامِ مَسَّ الْمِنْدِيلَ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Marazam who said,

‘I saw Abu Al-Hassan^-asws when he^-asws performed ablution before the meal, he^-asws did not wipe the towel, and when he^-asws perform ablution after the meal, he^-asws wiped the towel’.[222]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَمْسَحَ الرَّجُلُ يَدَهُ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ وَ فِيهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ تَعْظِيماً لِلطَّعَامِ حَتَّى يَمُصَّهَا أَوْ يَكُونَ عَلَى جَنْبِهِ صَبِيٌّ يَمُصُّهَا .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Abu Al Magra, from Zayd Al Shahaam,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having disliked that the man wipes his hand with the towel and in it is something from the food, as a reverence for the meal, until he licks it, or that happens to be a child upon his side who licks it’.[223]

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from one of his men, from Ibrahim Bin Uqba,

(It has been narrated) raising it to Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Wipe the face after the ablution does away with the troubles and increases in the livelihood’.[224]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَعَهُ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَشَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ الرَّمَدَ فَقَالَ لِي أَ وَ تُرِيدُ الطَّرِيفَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي إِذَا غَسَلْتَ يَدَكَ بَعْدَ الطَّعَامِ فَامْسَحْ حَاجِبَيْكَ وَ قُلْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الْمُحْسِنِ الْمُجْمِلِ الْمُنْعِمِ الْمُفْضِلِ قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَمَا رَمِدَتْ عَيْنِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ .

Ali Bin Muhammad, raising it from Al Mufazzal who said,

‘I went over to Abu Abdullah^-asws, so I complained to him^-asws of the conjunctivitis. So he^-asws said to me: ‘Or would you like something odd?’ Then he^-asws said to me: ‘Whenever you wash your hands after the meal, so wipe your eyelids, and say three times, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj the Bestower, the Aggregate, the Benefactor, the Gracious’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I did that, so I did not have conjunctivitis in my eye after that, and the Praise is for Allah^-azwj, Lord^-azwj of the Worlds’.[225]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘When the meal is placed, four thousand Angels surround it. So when the servant says, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj’, the Angels say: ‘May Allah^-azwj Bless you in your meal’. Then they are saying to the Satan^-la: ‘Get out, O mischievous one! There is no authority for you^-la over them’.

فَإِذَا فَرَغُوا فَقَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قَوْمٌ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَدَّوْا شُكْرَ رَبِّهِمْ

So when they are free, so they say, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj’, the Angels say: ‘A people who Allah^-azwj has Favoured so they paying their gratitude to their Lord^-azwj’.

وَ إِذَا لَمْ يُسَمُّوا قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ لِلشَّيْطَانِ ادْنُ يَا فَاسِقُ فَكُلْ مَعَهُمْ فَإِذَا رُفِعَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ وَ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قَوْمٌ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَنَسُوا رَبَّهُمْ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ .

And when they are not Naming (saying Bismillah), the Angels say to the Satan^-la: ‘Approach, O mischievous one, so become with them!’ So when they raise their hands and do not mention the Name of Allah^-azwj upon it, the Angels say: ‘A people whom Allah^-azwj Favoured upon them, so they forgot their Lord^-azwj Majestic and Mighty’.[226]

فَجِي‏ءَ بِالْخِوَانِ فَوُضِعَ فَقَالُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ قَدْ وَ اللَّهِ اسْتَمْكَنَّا مِنْهُ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ هَذَا الْخِوَانُ مِنَ الشَّيْ‏ءِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالُوا فَمَا حَدُّهُ قَالَ حَدُّهُ إِذَا وُضِعَ قِيلَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ إِذَا رُفِعَ قِيلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ يَأْكُلُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِمَّا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ لَا يَتَنَاوَلُ مِنْ قُدَّامِ الْآخَرِ شَيْئاً.

So they came with the meal and placed it, so they said in between them, ‘By Allah^-azwj! He^-asws has given us an opportunity from it’. So they said, ‘O Abu Ja’far^-asws! This meal, is it from the ‘things’?’ So he^-asws said: ‘Yes’. They said, ‘So what is its Limit?’ He^-asws said: ‘When it is placed, it is said, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj’, and every human being should eat from what is in front of him and should something from the front of another (person)’.[228]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِذَا أَكَلْتَ الطَّعَامَ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَ آخِرِهِ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا سَمَّى قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ وَ إِذَا لَمْ يُسَمِّ أَكَلَ مَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِذَا سَمَّى بَعْدَ مَا يَأْكُلُ وَ أَكَلَ الشَّيْطَانُ مَعَهُ تَقَيَّأَ الشَّيْطَانُ مَا كَانَ أَكَلَ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al Husayn Bin Usman, from a man,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘When you eat the food, so say, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj’ at the beginning of it and at its end, for if the servant Names (Bismillah) before he eats, the Satan^-la does not eat with him, but when he does not Name (Bismillah), the Satan^-la does eat with him. So when he Names (Bismillah) after having eaten, and the Satan^-la had eaten with him, the Satan^-la vomits what he had eaten’.[236]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَمْرٍو الْمُتَطَبِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الصَّنْعَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا وُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا مِنْ مَنِّكَ وَ فَضْلِكَ وَ عَطَائِكَ فَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَ سَوِّغْنَاهُ وَ ارْزُقْنَا خَلَفاً إِذَا أَكَلْنَاهُ وَ رُبَّ مُحْتَاجٍ إِلَيْهِ رَزَقْتَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Amro Al Mutattab, from Abu Yahya Al Sana’any,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws: ‘Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws, whenever the meal was placed in front of him^-asws, said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! This is from You^-azwj, and Your^-azwj Grace, and Your^-azwj Grant. Therefore, Bless for us in it, and Make it pleasant for us, and Sustain us afterwards when we have eaten it, those who are needy for it You^-azwj have Sustained them, so You^-azwj Favoured. O Allah^-azwj, and Make us to be from the grateful ones’.

فَإِذَا رُفِعَ الْخِوَانُ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي حَمَلَنَا فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ وَ رَزَقَنَا مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَ فَضَّلَنَا عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ تَفْضِيلًا .

So when the meal is raised, he^-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Carried us in the land and the sea, and Sustained us from the good things, and Graced us upon abundance from His^-azwj creatures, with abundant Grace’.[237]

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ جَرَّاحٍ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) اذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى الطَّعَامِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُطْعِمُ وَ لَا يُطْعَمُ .

From him, from his father, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Al Qasim Bin Suleyman, from Jarrah Al Madainy who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Mention the Name of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic upon the meal. So when you are free, so say, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Feeds and is not fed’.[238]

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْعَزْرَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) مَنْ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عِنْدَ طَعَامٍ أَوْ شَرَابٍ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ فِي آخِرِهِ لَمْ يُسْأَلْ عَنْ نَعِيمِ ذَلِكَ الطَّعَامِ أَبَداً .

And from him, from his father, from the one who narrated it, from Abdul Rahman Al Azramy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘The one who mentioned Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic during a meal, or drink, at the beginning of it, and Praises Allah^-azwj during its end, would not be Questioned about that Bounty of the meal, ever!’[239]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مِهْزَمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا رُفِعَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَكْثَرْتَ وَ أَطَبْتَ وَ بَارَكْتَ فَأَشْبَعْتَ وَ أَرْوَيْتَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُطْعِمُ وَ لَا يُطْعَمُ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Al Maysami, from Ibrahim Bin Mihzam, from a man,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww, whenever the meal was raised, said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Made it plentiful, and pleasant, and Blessed, so You^-azwj have satiated us, and quenched us. The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Feeds and is not fed’.[240]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كَانَ أَبِي ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَشْبَعَنَا فِي جَائِعِينَ وَ أَرْوَانَا فِي ظَامِئِينَ وَ آوَانَا فِي ضَائِعِينَ وَ حَمَلَنَا فِي رَاجِلِينَ وَ آمَنَنَا فِي خَائِفِينَ وَ أَخْدَمَنَا فِي عَانِينَ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘My^-asws father^-asws saying: ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Satiated us among our hungry ones, and Quenched us among our thirsty ones, and Sheltered us among our homeless ones, and Carried us among our walking ones, and Secured us among our scared ones, and Made us to be served among our toiling ones’.[241]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara who said,

‘I ate a meal with Abu Abdullah^-asws, so I could not count how many times he^-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Made me^-asws desire it’.[242]

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) ضَمِنْتُ لِمَنْ يُسَمِّي عَلَى طَعَامِهِ أَنْ لَا يَشْتَكِيَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ الْكَوَّاءِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَقَدْ أَكَلْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ طَعَاماً فَسَمَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آذَانِي فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ أَكَلْتَ أَلْوَاناً فَسَمَّيْتَ عَلَى بَعْضِهَا وَ لَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَا لُكَعُ .

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Dawood Bin Farqad,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘I^-asws guarantee for the one who Names (Bismillah) upon his meal that he would not complain from it’. So Ibn Al-Kawwa said to him^-asws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^-asws! I did eat a meal yesterday and I had Named (Bismillah) over it, and it harmed me’. So he^-asws said: ‘Perhaps you had a variety, so you Named upon some of it and did not Name upon some, O dimwit!’[243]

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ قَالَ شَكَوْتُ مَا أَلْقَى مِنْ أَذَى الطَّعَامِ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا أَكَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ لَمْ تُسَمِّ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي لَأُسَمِّي وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَضُرُّنِي فَقَالَ لِي إِذَا قَطَعْتَ التَّسْمِيَةَ بِالْكَلَامِ ثُمَّ عُدْتَ إِلَى الطَّعَامِ تُسَمِّي قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَمِنْ هَاهُنَا يَضُرُّكَ أَمَا لَوْ أَنَّكَ إِذَا عُدْتَ إِلَى الطَّعَامِ سَمَّيْتَ مَا ضَرَّكَ .

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, form Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from Abu Talib, from Misma’a who said,

‘I complained what harm I faced from the food, to Abu Abdullah^-asws, whenever I ate it. So he^-asws said: ‘Did you not Name (Bismillah)?’ So I said, ‘I do Name, and it (still) harms me’. So he^-asws said to me: ‘When you cut off the Naming (Bismillah) by talking, then you return to the meal, do you Name (Bismillah)?’ I said, ‘No’. He^-asws said: ‘So from over here it harmed you. If you had Named (Bismillah) when you returned to the food, it would not have harmed you’.[244]

أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَيْفَ أُسَمِّي عَلَى الطَّعَامِ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِذَا اخْتَلَفَتِ الْآنِيَةُ فَسَمِّ عَلَى كُلِّ إِنَاءٍ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ نَسِيتُ أَنْ أُسَمِّيَ قَالَ تَقُولُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَوَّلِهِ وَ آخِرِهِ.

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan, from Dawood who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah^-asws, ‘How shall I Name (Bismillah) upon the meal?’ So he^-asws said: ‘When there are different vessels, so Name (Bismillah) upon each vessel’. I said, ‘So if I forget to Name (Bismillah)?’ He^-asws said: ‘You should be saying, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj upon its first and its last’.[245]

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Ubeys Bin Hisham, from Al Husayn Bin Ahmad Al Minqary, from Yunus Bin Zabyan who said, ‘

I was with Abu Abdullah^-asws, so the time of the dinner presented itself, so I went to stand up, so he^-asws said: ‘Be seated, O Abu Abdullah!’ So I sat down until the meal was placed. So he^-asws Named (Bismillah) when it was placed. So when we were free, he^-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj. This is from You^-azwj and from Muhammad^-saww’.[246]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Qasim Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al Hassan Bin Rashid, from Ibn Bukeyr who said,

‘We were in the presence of Abu Abdullah^-asws. So he^-asws fed us, then we raised our hands, so we said, ‘The Prais is for Allah^-azwj’. So Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! This is from You^-azwj, and from Muhammad^-saww Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww. O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise. Send Blessings upon Muhammad^-saww and the Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww’.[247]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Qasim Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al Hassan Bin Rashid, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘Mention Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic upon the meal, and do not make a noise, for it is a Bounty from the Bounties of Allah^-azwj and a Sustenance from His^-azwj Sustenance. It is Obligatory upon you with regards to it, to thank Him^-azwj, and Mention Him^-azwj, and Praise Him^-azwj’.[248]

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws ordered with the meat, but it got cold. Then they came with it from afterwards. So he^-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Whom Made me desire it’. Then he^-asws said: ‘The Bounty during the good health is better than the Bounty upon the measured (constraint)’.[249]

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws that Amir Al-Momineen^-asws was asked about a meal on a table found on the road, abundant with its meat, and its bread, and its eggs, and its cheese, and among it is a knife.

So it a seeker of it comes over, the price would be paid to him’. It was said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^-asws! It is not known whether it is a meal of a Muslim or a meal of the Magians?’ So he^-asws said: ‘They are in a leeway until they come to know’.[252]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ طَعَاماً فَمَصَّ أَصَابِعَهُ الَّتِي أَكَلَ بِهَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Qasim Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al Hassan Bin Rashid, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Whenever one of you eats food, so he should lick the fingers which he ate with’. Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Allah^-azwj would Bless you in it”’.[257] 

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ نُوحِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ يَاسِرٍ الْخَادِمِ قَالَ أَكَلَ الْغِلْمَانُ يَوْماً فَاكِهَةً وَ لَمْ يَسْتَقْصُوا أَكْلَهَا وَ رَمَوْا بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمُ اسْتَغْنَيْتُمْ فَإِنَّ أُنَاساً لَمْ يَسْتَغْنُوا أَطْعِمُوهُ مَنْ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ .

Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Nuh Bin Shuayb, from Yasseer Al Khaddam who said,

‘The boys ate a fruit one day and did not scrutinize it, and threw it away. So Abu Al-Hassan^-asws said to them: ‘Glory be to Allah^-azwj! If you are needless, so there are people who are not needless. Feed the ones who are needy to it’.[258]

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ تَحْضُرُ وَ قَدْ وُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي أَوَّلِ الْوَقْتِ يُبْدَأُ بِالطَّعَامِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ مَضَى مِنَ الْوَقْتِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ تَخَافُ أَنْ تَفُوتَكَ فَتُعِيدَ الصَّلَاةَ فَابْدَأْ بِالصَّلَاةِ .

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at Bin Mihran who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah^-asws about the Prayer which had presented itself and the meal is placed. He^-asws said: ‘If it was at the beginning of the time, begin with the food; and if something from the time had passed, and you fear it would be lost, so you would have to repeat the Prayer, so begin with the Prayer’.[259]

عَنْهُ عَنْ نُوحِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ يَاسِرٍ الْخَادِمِ وَ نَادِرٍ جَمِيعاً قَالَا قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنْ قُمْتُ عَلَى رُءُوسِكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ فَلَا تَقُومُوا حَتَّى تَفْرُغُوا وَ لَرُبَّمَا دَعَا بَعْضَنَا فَيُقَالُ لَهُ هُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ فَيَقُولُ دَعْهُمْ حَتَّى يَفْرُغُوا .

From him, from Nuh Bin Shuayb, from Yasser Al Khadim, and Nadir, altogether said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan^-asws said to us: ‘If I^-asws was standing over your heads, and you all are eating, so do not get up until you are free (from eating)’. And sometimes he^-asws would call one of us, so it would be said to him^-asws, ‘They are eating’, so he^-asws saying to them: ‘Leave them until they are free’.[260]

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ نَادِرٍ الْخَادِمِ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُنَا لَا يَسْتَخْدِمُهُ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ .

And it is reported from Nadir the servant who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan^-asws, whenever one of us (servants) was eating, would not get him to attend to something until he was free from his meal’.[261]

 وَ رَوَى نَادِرٌ الْخَادِمُ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَضَعُ جَوْزِينَجَةً عَلَى الْأُخْرَى وَ يُنَاوِلُنِي .

And it is reported by Nadir the servant who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan^-asws placed one Jowzinja (a sweet) upon the other, and gave it to me’.[262]

أَحْمَدُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) رُبَّمَا أُتِيَ بِالْمَائِدَةِ فَأَرَادَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ أَنْ يَغْسِلَ يَدَهُ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَتْ يَدُهُ نَظِيفَةً فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَغْسِلَ يَدَهُ .

Ahmad, from his father, from Suleyman Al Ja’fary who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan^-asws said, when sometimes they come with the meal, so one of the people intended to wash his hands, so he^-asws was saying: ‘The one whose hands are clean, so there is no problem if he were to eat without washing his hands’.[263]

أَحْمَدُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَزِيعِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ هُوَ يَأْكُلُ خَلًّا وَ زَيْتاً فِي قَصْعَةٍ سَوْدَاءَ مَكْتُوبٍ فِي وَسَطِهَا بِصُفْرَةٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ لِي ادْنُ يَا بَزِيعُ فَدَنَوْتُ فَأَكَلْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ حَسَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ ثَلَاثَ حَسِيَّاتٍ حِينَ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ شَيْ‏ءٌ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِيهَا فَحَسَوْتُ الْبَقِيَّةَ .

Ahmad Bin Yahya Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ibn Abu Al Balaad, from his father, from Bazie Bin Umar Bin Bazie who said,

‘I went over to Abu Ja’far^-asws and he^-asws was eating vinegar (Khal) and oil in one black bowl, with a yellow inscription in the middle of it: ‘Say, He  Allah is One’ (Chapter 112 Verse 1). So he^-asws said to me: ‘Approach, O Bazie! So I approached and ate with him. Then he^-asws sipped three sips from the water when there did not remain anything from the bread. Then he^-asws gave it to me, so I sipped the remainder’.[264]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Moamar Bin Khallad who said,

‘I heard Al-Reza^-asws saying: ‘The one who eats food in his house, so something falls down from it, so let him take it; and the one who eats in the desert, or outside, so let him leave it for the birds or the wild animals’.[265]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ali Bin Ibrahim Al Ja’fary, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl,

(It has been narrated) raising it from them^-asws having said: ‘The Prophet^-saww, whenever he^-saww ate gave to one in front of his^-saww eyes, and when he^-saww drank, quenched the one upon his^-saww right’.[267]

And by this chain, from Amro Bin Jumi’a, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said:

‘Rasool-Allah^-saww went over to Ayesha, so he^-saww saw a crumb which he^-saww almost trod upon, so he^-saww took it and ate it. Then he^-saww said: ‘O Humeyra!

إِنَّ قَوْماً أُفْرِغَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَ هُمْ أَهْلُ الثَّرْثَارِ فَعَمَدُوا إِلَى مُخِّ الْحِنْطَةِ فَجَعَلُوهَا خُبْزاً هَجَاءً وَ جَعَلُوا يُنْجُونَ بِهِ صِبْيَانَهُمْ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ جَبَلٌ عَظِيمٌ

A people had the Bounties offloaded upon them, and they are the (people of) Sarsaar. So they took the wheat and made it as bread (to be used) for firewood, and made it to be utilised for cleaning their children with it, to the extent that a big hill gathered from that (soiled bread)’.

قَالَ فَمَرَّ بِهِمْ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ وَ إِذَا امْرَأَةٌ وَ هِيَ تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ بِصَبِيٍّ لَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ وَيْحَكُمْ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَا تُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِكُمْ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ كَأَنَّكَ تُخَوِّفُنَا بِالْجُوعِ أَمَّا مَا دَامَ ثَرْثَارُنَا تَجْرِي فَإِنَّا لَا نَخَافُ الْجُوعَ

He^-asws said: ‘So a righteous man passed by them and there was a woman, and she was doing that with a child of hers (cleaning him with the bread). So he said to them, ‘Woe be unto you all! Fear Allah^-azwj Might and Majestic, and do not change what is with you from the Bounties’. So she said to him, ‘It is as if you are scaring us with the hunger. But, for as long as our Sarsaar (river) is flowing, so we do not fear the hunger’.

قَالَ فَأَسِفَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَأَضْعَفَ لَهُمُ الثَّرْثَارَ وَ حَبَسَ عَنْهُمْ قَطْرَ السَّمَاءِ وَ نَبَاتَ الْأَرْضِ قَالَ فَاحْتَاجُوا إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَبَلِ وَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُقْسَمُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْمِيزَانِ .

He^-asws said: ‘So Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made them regret and weakened the Sarsaar (river) to them, and Withheld the drops of the sky (rain) from them, and the vegetation of the earth. So they became needy to that hill (of soiled bread) and they would then distribute it between them with the scale’.[281]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَكْرِمُوا الْخُبْزَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ عَمِلَ فِيهِ مَا بَيْنَ الْعَرْشِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ مَا فِيهَا مِنْ كَثِيرٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Honour the bread, for it has been worked upon by what is between the Throne and the earth and what is from the numerous of its people’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِدَاكَ الْآبَاءُ وَ الْأُمَّهَاتُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ نَبِيٌّ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ دَانِيَالُ وَ إِنَّهُ أَعْطَى صَاحِبَ مِعْبَرٍ رَغِيفاً لِكَيْ يَعْبُرَ بِهِ فَرَمَى صَاحِبُ الْمِعْبَرِ بِالرَّغِيفِ وَ قَالَ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِالْخُبْزِ هَذَا الْخُبْزُ عِنْدَنَا قَدْ يُدَاسُ بِالْأَرْجُلِ

Then he^-saww said to the ones around him^-saww: ‘Shall I^-saww inform you all?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah^-saww, may the fathers and the mothers be sacrificed for you^-saww’. So he^-saww said: ‘There was a Prophet^-as among the ones who were before you all, called Dainel^-as, and he^-asws gave the owner of the crossing a bread in order to cross with it. So the owner of the crossing threw down the bread and said, ‘What do I do with this bread. The bread is with us’, and he trampled it with the leg.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ دَانِيَالُ رَفَعَ يَدَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَكْرِمِ الْخُبْزَ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتَ يَا رَبِّ مَا صَنَعَ هَذَا الْعَبْدُ وَ مَا قَالَ

So when Daniel^-as saw that from him, he^-as raised his^-as hands towards the sky, then said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Honour the bread, for You^-azwj have Seen, O Lord^-azwj what this servant has done and what he said’.

قَالَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ أَنْ تَحْبِسَ الْغَيْثَ وَ أَوْحَى إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَنْ كُونِي طَبَقاً كَالْفَخَّارِ قَالَ فَلَمْ يُمْطَرُوا حَتَّى أَنَّهُ بَلَغَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ أَنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ أَكَلَ بَعْضاً فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مِنْهُمْ مَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِأُخْرَى وَ لَهُمَا وَلَدَانِ يَا فُلَانَةُ تَعَالِي حَتَّى نَأْكُلَ أَنَا وَ أَنْتِ الْيَوْمَ وَلَدِي وَ إِذَا كَانَ غَداً أَكَلْنَا وَلَدَكِ قَالَتْ لَهَا نَعَمْ فَأَكَلَتَاهُ

He^-asws said: ‘So Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto the sky that it withholds the rain, and Revealed unto the earth that it become layers like the pottery. So it did not rain to the extent that their affairs reached such that some of them ate each other. So when (the situation) reached what Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Intended from that, a woman said to another, and for both of them were parents, ‘O so and so, come, let I and you both, eat my parents today, and when it is tomorrow, we both eat your parents’. So she said to her, ‘Yes’. So they ate them.

فَلَمَّا أَنْ جَاعَتَا مِنْ بَعْدُ رَاوَدَتِ الْأُخْرَى عَلَى أَكْلِ وَلَدِهَا فَامْتَنَعَتْ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكِ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ فَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَى دَانِيَالَ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لَهُمَا وَ قَدْ بَلَغَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَى مَا أَرَى قَالَتَا لَهُ نَعَمْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَ أَشَدَّ

So when she came over afterwards the other enticing to eat her parents, she prevented her, and she said, ‘Between me and you is a Prophet^-as of Allah^-azwj. So they both brought their dispute to Daniel^-as. So he^-as said to them both: ‘And has the matter reached to what I^-as see?’ She said to him^-as, ‘Yes, O Prophet^-as of Allah^-azwj, and even more difficult’.

قَالَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ عُدْ عَلَيْنَا بِفَضْلِكَ وَ فَضْلِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ لَا تُعَاقِبِ الْأَطْفَالَ وَ مَنْ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ بِذَنْبِ صَاحِبِ الْمِعْبَرِ وَ أَضْرَابِهِ لِنِعْمَتِكَ

He^-asws said: ‘So he^-as raised his^-as hands towards the sky, so he^-as said; ‘O Allah^-azwj! Return upon us with Your^-azwj Grace, and Grace of Your^-azwj Mercy, and do not Punish the children, and the good ones in it, by the sin of the owner of the crossing, and his disrespecting Your^-azwj Bounty’.

قَالَ فَأَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ أَمْطِرِي عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ أَمَرَ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ أَنْبِتِي لِخَلْقِي مَا قَدْ فَاتَهُمْ مِنْ خَيْرِكَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَحِمْتُهُمْ بِالطِّفْلِ الصَّغِيرِ .

He^-asws said: ‘So Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded the sky that: “Rain for Me^-azwj upon the earth”, and Commanded the earth that “Grow for My^-azwj Creatures, so Give them from your goodness, for I^-azwj am being Merciful to them due to the young children’.[282]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنِ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لَا يُوضَعُ الرَّغِيفُ تَحْتَ الْقَصْعَةِ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Washa, from Al Maysami, from Aban Bin Taghlub who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Do not place the bread beneath the bowl’.[283]

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ السَّيَّارِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَكْرِمُوا الْخُبْزَ قِيلَ وَ مَا إِكْرَامُهُ قَالَ إِذَا وُضِعَ لَا يُنْتَظَرُ بِهِ غَيْرُهُ .

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad Bin Al Sayyari, from Ali Bin Asbad, from one of his companions who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Honour the bread’. It was said, ‘And what is its honouring?’ He^-asws said: ‘When it is placed, so do not wait with it for something else’.[284]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَكْرِمُوا الْخُبْزَ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا إِكْرَامُهُ قَالَ إِذَا وُضِعَ لَمْ يُنْتَظَرْ بِهِ غَيْرُهُ

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Talha Bin Zayd, from one of our companions who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Honour the bread!’ So it was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! What is its honouring?’ He^-saww said: ‘When it is placed, do not wait with it for something else’.

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ مِنْ كَرَامَتِهِ أَنْ لَا يُوطَأَ وَ لَا يُقْطَعَ .

And Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘And from its honouring is that it should neither be trodden upon nor cut (into pieces before it is placed)’.[285]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَشَمُّوا الْخُبْزَ كَمَا تَشَمُّهُ السِّبَاعُ فَإِنَّ الْخُبْزَ مُبَارَكٌ أَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ السَّمَاءَ مِدْرَاراً وَ لَهُ أَنْبَتَ اللَّهُ الْمَرْعَى وَ بِهِ صَلَّيْتُمْ وَ بِهِ صُمْتُمْ وَ بِهِ حَجَجْتُمْ بَيْتَ رَبِّكُمْ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Beware of smelling the bread just as you smell the wild animals smell it, for the bread is Blessed. Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Commanded the sky for it for torrential downpour, and for Allah^-azwj has Grown the meadows, and by it you are Praying, and by it you are Fasting, and by it you are performing the Hajj of the House of your Lord^-azwj’.[286]

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا أُوتِيتُمْ بِالْخُبْزِ وَ اللَّحْمِ فَابْدَءُوا بِالْخُبْزِ فَسُدُّوا بِهِ خِلَالَ الْجُوعِ ثُمَّ كُلُوا اللَّحْمَ .

And by this chain,

‘He^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘When you are brought the bread and the meat, so begin with the bread, so close by it the emptiness of the hunger, then eat the meat’.[287]

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yaqoub Bin Yaqteen who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Make your bread as small, for with each loaf is a Blessing’.

وَ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ يَقْطِينٍ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ يَعْنِي الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) يَكْسِرُ الرَّغِيفَ إِلَى فَوْقُ .

And Yaqoub Bin Yaqteen (the narrator) said,

‘I saw Abu Al-Hassan^-asws, meaning Al-Reza^-asws, breaking the bread upwards’.[288]

Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, and someone else, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Fazl Al Nowfaly, from Al Fazl Bin Yunus who said,

 أَحْمَدُ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يُوضَعَ الرَّغِيفُ تَحْتَ الْقَصْعَةِ.

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from one of his companions I think it was Muhammad Bin Ismail, who said,

‘One of us mentioned two (kinds of) meat in the presence of Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws, so he said: ‘What meat is better than the meat of the goat?’ He (the narrator) said, ‘So Abu Al-Hassan^-asws looked at him and said: ‘Had Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created a chewy morsel which is better than the lamb, so it would have been sacrificed for Ismail^-as’.[328]

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan^-asws, ‘My family are not eating meat of the goat’. So he^-asws said: ‘And why?’ I said, ‘They are saying that it stirs the bitterness with them, and the black bile (acidity), and the headaches, and the pains’. So he^-asws said to me: ‘O Sa’ad!’ So I said, ‘At your service!’ He^-asws said: ‘Had Allah^-azwj Known of a thing more prestigious than the lamb He^-azwj would have Sacrificed it for Ismail^-as’.[329]

One of our companions, from Ja’far Bin Ibrahim Al Hazramy, from sa’ad Bin Sa’ad who said,

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws that, ‘My family are eating the meat of the goat, and are not eating the meat of the lamb’.

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ الْقَدِيدُ لَحْمُ سَوْءٍ لِأَنَّهُ يَسْتَرْخِي فِي الْمَعِدَةِ وَ يُهَيِّجُ كُلَّ دَاءٍ وَ لَا يَنْفَعُ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ بَلْ يَضُرُّهُ .

From him,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan^-asws having said: ‘The Jerk is an evil meat because it relaxes in the stomach and agitates every illness, and it does no benefit anything, but it harms’.[354]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) شَيْئَانِ صَالِحَانِ لَمْ يَدْخُلَا جَوْفَ وَاحِدٍ قَطُّ فَاسِداً إِلَّا أَصْلَحَاهُ وَ شَيْئَانِ فَاسِدَانِ لَمْ يَدْخُلَا جَوْفاً قَطُّ صَالِحاً إِلَّا أَفْسَدَاهُ فَالصَّالِحَانِ الرُّمَّانُ وَ الْمَاءُ الْفَاتِرُ وَ الْفَاسِدَانِ الْجُبُنُّ وَ الْقَدِيدُ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from one of his companions, raising it, said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Two things are corrective, either of which does not enter the inside at all as spoilt except that it corrects it, and two things are both spoilers, they do not enter inside at all as correct, except that they spoil it. The two correctives are the pomegranate and the luke-warm water, and the two spoilers are the cheese and the Jerk (dried meat)’.[355]

قَالَ وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ يَهْدِمْنَ الْبَدَنَ وَ رُبَّمَا قَتَلْنَ أَكْلُ الْقَدِيدِ الْغَابِّ وَ دُخُولُ الْحَمَّامِ عَلَى الْبِطْنَةِ وَ نِكَاحُ الْعَجَائِزِ

He (the narrator) said, ‘

And it has been reported from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Three (things) demolish the  body, and perhaps may even kill – Eating the Jerk of the forest, and entering the bathroom upon the (full) belly, and marrying the old women’.

قَالَ وَ زَادَ فِيهِ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ النَّهَاوَنْدِيُّ وَ غِشْيَانُ النِّسَاءِ عَلَى الِامْتِلَاءِ .

He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Is’haq Al-Nahawandy has increased in it: ‘And copulating with the women upon the filled (belly)’.[356]

عَنْهُ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) ثَلَاثٌ لَا يُؤْكَلْنَ وَ هُنَّ يُسْمِنَّ وَ ثَلَاثٌ يُؤْكَلْنَ وَ هُنَّ يَهْزِلْنَ وَ اثْنَانِ يَنْفَعَانِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا يَضُرَّانِ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ اثْنَانِ يَضُرَّانِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا يَنْفَعَانِ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ

From him, from one of our companions, raising it, said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Three things which are nor eaten and these fatten, and three are eaten and these slim (the body), and two benefit from every things and do not harm from anything, and two harm from everything and do not benefit from anything.

فَأَمَّا اللَّوَاتِي لَا يُؤْكَلْنَ وَ يُسْمِنَّ اسْتِشْعَارُ الْكَتَّانِ وَ الطِّيبُ وَ النُّورَةُ وَ أَمَّا اللَّوَاتِي يُؤْكَلْنَ وَ يَهْزِلْنَ فَهُوَ اللَّحْمُ الْيَابِسُ وَ الْجُبُنُّ وَ الطَّلْعُ وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ الْجَرَزُ وَ الْكُسْبُ وَ اللَّذَانِ يَنْفَعَانِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا يَضُرَّانِ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَالْمَاءُ الْفَاتِرُ وَ الرُّمَّانُ وَ اللَّذَانِ يَضُرَّانِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا يَنْفَعَانِ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَاللَّحْمُ الْيَابِسُ وَ الْجُبُنُّ

So as for those which are not eaten and these fatten are the linen, and the perfume, and the Noura (Lime-wax); and as for those which are eaten and they slim (the body), so these are the dried meat, and the cheese, and the spadix’ – and in another Hadeeth: ‘The Prairie moon (a herb), and oil-cake; and the two which benefit from everything and do not harm from anything the luke-warm water and the pomegranate; and those two which harm from everything and do not benefit from everything, so it is the dried meat, and the cheese’.

قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ ثَمَّ قُلْتَ يَهْزِلْنَ وَ قُلْتَ هَاهُنَا يَضُرَّانِ فَقَالَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْهُزَالَ مِنَ الْمَضَرَّةِ .

I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^-asws! Then you^-asws said: ‘They slimmen (the body)’, and over here they are both harmful’. So he^-asws said: ‘But do you not know that the slimming is from the harmful?’[357]

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Rayyan, raising it, said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah^-asws, ‘Why did Rasool-Allah^-saww used to the love the arm more than his^-saww love for the rest of the body parts of the sheep?’ So he^-asws said: ‘Because Adam^-as offered an offering on behalf of the Prophets^-as from his^-as offspring, so he^-as named a part for each Prophet^-as from his^-as offspring, and named the arm for Rasool-Allah^-saww. So from then, he^-saww used to love it, and was desiring it, and preferring it’.[358]

’بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَيْرِ الْأَسْمَاءِ مِلْ‏ءَ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ لَا دَاءٌ ‘

‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj, filling the earth and the sky, the Beneficent, the Merciful, there does not harm with His^-azwj Name, anything, nor an illness’. Have lunch with us^-asws’.[379]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍقَالَ اشْتَكَيْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ شَكَاةً ضَعُفْتُ مَعَهَا فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لِي أَرَاكَ ضَعِيفاً قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لِي كُلِ الْكَبَابَ فَأَكَلْتُهُ فَبَرَأْتُ .

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Hassan, from Musa Bin Bakr who said,

‘I complained at Al-Medina of the weakness, so I went over to Abu Al-Hassan^-asws. So he^-asws said to me: ‘I^-asws see you are weak’. I said, ‘Yes’. So he^-asws said to me: ‘Eat the Kabab (roast)’. So I ate it, and I was cured’.[380]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ يَعْنِي الْأَوَّلَ ( عليه السلام ) مَا لِي أَرَاكَ مُصْفَرّاً فَقُلْتُ لَهُ وَعَكٌ أَصَابَنِي فَقَالَ لِي كُلِ اللَّحْمَ فَأَكَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ رَآنِي بَعْدَ جُمْعَةٍ وَ أَنَا عَلَى حَالِي مُصْفَرّاً فَقَالَ لِي أَ لَمْ آمُرْكَ بِأَكْلِ اللَّحْمِ قُلْتُ مَا أَكَلْتُ غَيْرَهُ مُنْذُ أَمَرْتَنِي فَقَالَ وَ كَيْفَ تَأْكُلُهُ قُلْتُ طَبِيخاً فَقَالَ لَا كُلْهُ كَبَاباً فَأَكَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَدَعَانِي بَعْدَ جُمْعَةٍ وَ إِذَا الدَّمُ قَدْ عَادَ فِي وَجْهِي فَقَالَ لِي الْآنَ نَعَمْ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Musa Bin Bakr who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan^-asws, meaning the 1st, said to me: ‘What is the matter I^-asws see you as pale?’ So I said to him^-asws, ‘Pain has struck me’. So he^-asws said to me: ‘Eat the meat’. So I ate it. Then he^-asws saw me after the Friday, and I was (still) upon my pale state, so he^-asws said to me: ‘Did I^-asws not order you with eating the meat?’ I said, ‘I have not eaten anything else since you^-asws ordered me’. So he^-asws said: ‘And how did you eat it?’ I said, ‘Cooked’. So he^-asws said: ‘No, eat it as Kabab (roast)’. So I ate it. Then he^-asws sent a message to me, so he^-asws called me over after Friday, and the blood had returned in my face. So he^-asws said: ‘Now, yes!’[381]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الشَّامِيِّ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ( عليهما السلام ) قَالَ أَكْلُ الْكَبَابِ يَذْهَبُ بِالْحُمَّى .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Shamy, from Husayn Bin hanzala,

(It has been narrated) from one of the two (5th or 6th Imam^-asws) having said: ‘Eat the Kabab (roast), it does away with (removes) the fever’.[382]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ ذَكَرْنَا الرُّءُوسَ مِنَ الشَّاةِ فَقَالَ الرَّأْسُ مَوْضِعُ الذَّكَاةِ وَ أَقْرَبُ مِنَ الْمَرْعَى وَ أَبْعَدُ مِنَ الْأَذَى .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Ali Bin Rayyan Bin Al Salt, from Ubeydullah Bin Abdullah Al Wasity, from Wasil Bin Suleyman, from Dorost,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘We mentioned the head from the sheep, so he^-asws said: ‘The head are a place of slaughter, and the nearest from the pasture and remote from the harm’.[383]

باب الْهَرِيسَةِ

Chapter 69 – Al-Hareys (Mashed grains and meat)

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بِسْطَامَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْفَارِسِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْفَارِسِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْهَرِيسَةِ فَإِنَّهَا تُنْشِطُ لِلْعِبَادَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً وَ هِيَ مِنَ الْمَائِدَةِ الَّتِي أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) .

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Bistam Bin Murra Al Farsy, from Abdul Rahman Bin Yazeed al Farsy, from Muhammad Bin Marouf, from Salih Bin Razeyn,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘It is upon you with (eating) Al-Hareys, for it invigorates for the worship for forty days, and it is from the foods which descended upon Rasool-Allah^-saww’.[384]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الدِّهْقَانِ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ نَبِيّاً مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ شَكَا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الضَّعْفَ وَ قِلَّةَ الْجِمَاعِ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِ الْهَرِيسَةِ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Dahqan, from Dorost Bin Abu Mansour,

(It has been narrated) from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘A Prophet^-as from the Prophets^-as complained to Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic of the weakness and the infrequent union, so He^-azwj Commanded him^-as with the eating of Al-Hareys’.[385]

وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) شَكَا إِلَى رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَجَعَ الظَّهْرِ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِ الْحَبِّ بِاللَّحْمِ يَعْنِي الْهَرِيسَةَ .

And in another Hadeeth,

(It has been narrated) raising it to Abu Abdullah^-asws having said that Rasool-Allah^-saww complained to his^-saww Lord^-azwj Mighty and Majestic of the back pain, so He^-azwj Commanded him with the eating of the grains with the meat, meaning Al-Hareys’.[386]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ الصَّيْقَلِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) هَرِيسَةً مِنْ هَرَائِسِ الْجَنَّةِ غُرِسَتْ فِي رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ فَرَكَهَا الْحُورُ الْعِينُ فَأَكَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَزَادَ فِي قُوَّتِهِ بُضْعَ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا وَ ذَلِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَسُرَّ بِهِ نَبِيَّهُ مُحَمَّداً ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Isnan, from Mansour Al Sayqal, from his father, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said that Allah^-azwj Blessed and High Gifted Hareys to Rasool-Allah^-azwj from the broths of the Paradise, planted in the Gardens of the Paradise, and stirred by the Maiden Houries. So Rasool-Allah^-saww ate it, so it increased in his^-saww strength by some forty men, and that is something which Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Intended that He^-azwj Makes His^-azwj Prophet^-saww Muhammad^-saww to be joyful with’.[387]

باب الْمُثَلَّثَةِ وَ الْإِحْسَاءِ

Chapter 70 – The Trio (of grains) and Al-Ihsa’a (Flour with oil)

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تُطْعِمُ عِيَالَكَ فِي الشِّتَاءِ قُلْتُ اللَّحْمَ فَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنِ اللَّحْمُ فَالزَّيْتَ وَ السَّمْنَ قَالَ فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ عَنْ هَذَا الْكَرْكُورِ فَإِنَّهُ أَمْرَأُ شَيْ‏ءٍ فِي الْجَسَدِ يَعْنِي الْمُثَلَّثَةَ

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Yahya Bin Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Balaad, from his father, from Al Waleed Bin Sabeeh who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Which thing do you feed your family in the winter?’ I said, ‘The meat. So when there does not happen to be the meat, so the oil, and the butter’. He^-asws said: ‘So what is preventing you from this ‘Karkour’, for it is one of the matters in the body, meaning the trio’.

قَالَ وَ أَخْبَرَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا أَنَّ الْمُثَلَّثَةَ يُؤْخَذُ قَفِيزُ أَرُزٍّ وَ قَفِيزُ حِمَّصٍ وَ قَفِيزُ بَاقِلَّى أَوْ غَيْرِهِ مِنَ الْحُبُوبِ ثُمَّ يُرَضُّ جَمِيعاً وَ يُطْبَخُ .

He (the narrator) said, ‘And one of our companions informed me that the trio is taken as a Qafiz (Unit of measurement) of rice, and a Qafiz of Humus, and a Qafiz of broad beans, or something else from the seeds, then mixed and cooked’.[388]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ التَّلْبِينَ يَجْلُو الْقَلْبَ الْحَزِينَ كَمَا تَجْلُو الْأَصَابِعُ الْعَرَقَ مِنَ الْجَبِينِ .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from one of our companions,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said that Al-Talbeyn (White flour cooked with oil), clears the aggrieved heart just as the fingers clear the sweat from the forehead’.[389]

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَوْ أَغْنَى عَنِ الْمَوْتِ شَيْ‏ءٌ لَأَغْنَتِ التَّلْبِينَةُ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا التَّلْبِينَةُ قَالَ الْحَسْوُ بِاللَّبَنِ الْحَسْوُ بِاللَّبَنِ وَ كَرَّرَهَا ثَلَاثاً .

And it is reported,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘The Prophet^-saww said: ‘If anything could have sufficed you from the death, it would have been Al-Talbeyn which would have sufficed you’. So it was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! And what is Al-Talbeyn?’ He^-saww said: ‘Al Hasou (meat and vegetable soup) with the milk, Al-Hasou (meat and vegetable soup) with the milk’, and he^-saww repeated it three times’.[390]

وَ رَوَاهُ سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ عَنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ مِسْمَعِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مِثْلَهُ .

And Sahl Biin Ziyad reported from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Bin Shamoun, from Al Asamma, from Misma’a Bin Abdul Malik,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws – similar to it.
