full.2

Rasool Allahsaww eat while leaning against something to his right or left?’ The
Imamasws said, ‘The Rasool Allahasws never ate while leaning against something on his
right or left, hesaww however, sat like slaves.’ I then asked, ‘Why did hesaww do so’?’
The Imamasws said, ‘He did so to express humbleness before Allahazwj.’11

in this verse can eat without permission from the owner of the house such things as
dates and curries and so also a woman can eat from the house of her husband
without his permission. However, it is not permissible for them to eat other items of
food besides the ones mentioned above.’15

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Urnayr from Hisharn ibn Salim who has
said:
‘Once we along with Ibn Abu Ya’fur visited Abu Abd Allah asws and we were a group.
Food was prepared and we had lunch. The Imamasws also took lunch with us. I was
the youngest in the group and I made it shorter in my eating. The Imam asws then said,
‘Eat. Did you not know that one’s love for his brother (in belief) grows when he eats

from a man from ‘Abd aI-Rahman ibn al-Ilajjaj who
has said:
‘Once we were having food with Abu Abd Allahasws and a bowl of rice was brought
but we just left it untouched. The Imamasws said, ‘You did not eat anything thereof.
You must take notice that the one among you with intense love for usasws is the one
who eats ourasws food well.’ ‘Abd AI-Rahman said, ‘I then ate even the pieces fallen
on the food-sheet.’ The Imamasws said, ‘Now this is good’ and the Imamasws kept
speaking that the Rasool Allahsaww was presented with a gift of a bowl of rice from
the side of al-Ansar (people of al-Madinah). The Rasool Allahsaww called Salmanra, al-
Miqdadra and abu Dharrra but theyra did not eat thereof. The Rasool Allahsaww said,
‘You did not eat anything thereof. The one among you of intense love for us asws is the
one who eats our food well.’19

said:
‘Imam Al-Rezaasws has said, ‘In the body there is a vein called ‘Isha’, If one does not
take dinner, it continues praying against him until morning; and it says, ‘May Allah azwj
Make you hungry just as you kept me hungry, and may Allahazwj Make you thirsty just
as you kept me thirsty.’ No one of you must neglect taking dinner -- even if it is one

Muhammad ibn Ali from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Yusuf from Zakariya ibn Muhammad al-Azdiy from ‘Abd
al-tA’Ia’ Mawla ‘ Ale Sam who has said:
‘I once said to Abu Abd Allahasws ‘We narrate among us that the Rasool Allahsaww has
said, ‘Allahazwj Disliked the house (full) of meat.’ The Imamasws said, ‘They have lied.
The Rasool Allahsaww spoke only about the house in which people backbite and (as a
result) eat people’s meat. My fatherasws liked meat and on the day he passed away,
there was thirty dirham in the sleeve of the mother of hisasws child to buy meat.’44
‫فقدت من بِّن إسرائيل أمتان واحدة ِف البحر و أخرى ِف الِب فَل تأكلوا إِل ما عرفتم‬
(Amir-ul-Momineenasws said) From the Children of Israel, two nations were lost, one
went into the sea whereas the other went missing into the land, so one should not
eat (meat) unless after becoming absolutely sure about its origin (Halal species).45

vessels of heart, spleen, spinal cord, testicles and penis. Certain one of the butchers
said, ‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws liver and spleen’ are not different. They are the same
thing.’ ‘You suffer from lack of understanding and what you say is not true
(Nouzobillah).’ ‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws explained and asked, ‘Bring two bowls of
water. I will show the difference between the liver and spleen. Two bowls of water
were brought and he (the Imamasws) said, ‘Cut the middle of the liver and cut the
middle of the spleen. Heasws then commanded to rub them in the water. After being
rubbed in water the liver turned (a little) white but it remained the same and
nothing was reduced thereof. The spleen in this process did not turn white but its
contents all came out and turned into blood: all that was left was its skin and its vein.
The Imamasws said, ‘This is the difference between the two. This is flesh and this is
blood.’77

distance between us and the mountains is far, by many Farsakh84. We buy one, two
or three flocks and every flock numbers one thousand five hundred, one thousand
six hundred or one thousand seven hundred sheep. Then two or three sheep are
slaughtered and we ask the shepherd about their religion. They say that they are
Christians. What do you say about the slaughtering by Jews and Christians’) Heasws
said, ‘O al-Husayn, ‘Slaughtering is by name and no one can be trusted in this matter
except people who believe in the Oneness of Allahazwj.’85

you receive for it with your other assets and do not use it for food. It is a matter of

‘Once my father and I visited Abu Abd Allahasws and said, ‘We pray to Allahazwj to keep
our souls in service for yourasws cause, we have Christian associates and they
slaughter for us chickens and goats: if we can eat thereof. The Imam asws said, ‘Do not
eat and do not get close to it: what they say on it is ‘something’ for which I do not
like you to eat it.’ He (the narrator) has said, when we arrived in al-Kufah certain
ones of them invited us and we declined their invitation. He asked about the reason
saying, ‘You were coming to us and now you have refused.’ We replied, ‘Our
scholarasws prohibited and he thinks that you say something on what you slaughter
because of which he does not like that we eat your (slaughter). ‘He then asked, ‘Who
is your scholar? Heasws by Allahazwj, is the most knowledgeable of all people and more
knowledgeable than what Allahazwj has Created. Heasws has spoken the truth by
Allahazwj. We say, ‘In the name of al-Masihas’.96

mountains who exchanges things for other things. The Imam asws asked, ‘Is it because
of mutual agreement?’ he replied, ‘Yes, that is true.’ The Imamasws said, ‘It then is not
unlawful.’ He then said, ‘He may have an agent who is a Jew or Christians who comes
across something that sells slaughtered and brings its price, or salt it then brings it
salted.’ The Imamasws said, ‘He must not eat it. It is a matter of name (mentioning the
name of Allahazwj) in which no one can be trusted except a Muslim.’
A certain person present said, ‘What about the words of Allah azwj‘ ... the food of the
people of the book is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them.’ The Imamasws
said, ‘My fatherasws would say that it is grains and similar things.98

certain amount from his assets for the poor. The judge of NisAbur, however, took
the amount and gave it to the poor Muslims. Al-Khaleel al-Riyasatayn asked Ma’mun
about it. Ma’mun who did not have any answer for it asked Abu Al-Hassanasws about
it and Abu Al-Hassanasws said, ‘A Zoroastrian man does not make a will for the poor
Muslims. It is proper to take that amount from the treasury of charity and return it
to the poor Zoroastrians.’’108

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Rayyan ibn Shabib who has narrated the
following:
‘Maridah made a will for the Christians who worked as maintenance people. Our
people said to spend it on the poor believers of your people. I then asked Al-Rezaasws,
that my sister has made a will for Christian persons and I wanted to spend it for our
Muslim people. The Imamasws said, ‘You must execute the will as you are required.
Allahazwj has Said, ‘Whoever intentionally changes the will of a deceased person, he
has committed a sin. Allah is All-hearing and All-knowing.’?’ (2: 181).’109

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Harun ibn Muwaffaq al-
Madiniy from his father who has said:
‘Once Al-Mahdi (the previous) Abu AI-Hassanasws called me for food and I ate food
with him. The Imamasws ate more al-Halwa (sweet) and I said, ‘This is quite much al-
Halwa’.’ The Imamasws said, ‘Iasws and ourasws followers are created from sweetness:
110
thus we like sweet.’

We cannot bear this, how the fire will be, we cannot bear with this, how the fire will
be, we cannot bear with this, how the fire will be.’ The Imamasws kept repeating it
until it became possible to eat the food. The Imamasws ate and we ate with
himasws.’111

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated:
‘Certain persons of our people once wrote to Abu Muhammadasws complaining about
blood and yellowness, saying, ‘If I apply cupping, yellowness stirs up, when I delay it
blood harms me, so what would you advise me in such case?’ The Imam asws wrote,
‘Apply cupping and after cupping eat fresh fish as kabab.’ He (the narrator) has said,
‘I repeated exactly the same question to himasws. The Imamasws wrote, ‘Apply cupping
and after cupping eat fresh fish as kabab with water and salt.’ He (the narrator) has
said, ‘I followed the instruction and I lived in good health and it became my food. 114

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim al-Hashirniy, from his father from
Muhammad ibn al- Fadl al-Naysaburiy from certain persons of our people who has said:
‘A man once asked Abu Abd Allahasws about cheese (at midday). Heasws said, ‘It is an
illness for which there is no cure.’ When it was al-Tsha’ (evening), the man came to
Abu Abd Allahasws and looked at cheese on the food-sheet and said, ‘I pray to
Allahazwj to Keep my soul in service for yourasws cause. At lunchtime, I asked youasws
about cheese. Youasws said to me that it is an illness for which there is no cure and
now I see it on the food-sheet.’ Heasws said, ‘It is harmful at lunch and useful in dinner
and it increases the water of one’s back.’ It is narrated that harmfulness of cheese is
in its crust.’135
