Hadith 990
۞
10-18 Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Yaḥyā al-ʿAṭṭār, may God be pleased with him, narrated to us, he said: My father narrated to us, from Aḥmad b. Yaḥyā b. ʿImrān al-Ashʿarī, from Yaʿqūb b. Yazīd, from Ibn Abī ʿUmayr, from one of our companions, from Abū ʿAbd Allāh (ʿas), who said
“Ten things from the sheep are not to be eaten: the feces found in its entrails, the blood, the spleen, the marrow, the cysts, the penis, the testicles, the womb, the pudendum, and the jugular vein,” or he said “blood vessels.”
10-18 حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن يحيى العطار رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا أبي، عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى بن عمران الاشعري، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن بعض أصحابنا، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
لايؤكل من الشاة عشرة أشياء: الفرث والدم والطحال والنخاع والغدد والقضيب والانثيين والرحم والحياء والاوداج أو قال: العروق
Notes
فرث (farth, undigested food in the viscera and excrement still within the entrails) is variously glossed and translated as "entrails" or "excrement," but neither is fully correct. It is the excrement and partially digested food still to be found in the entrails of the animal. This word is found in the Qurʾān 16:66, where God discusses the remarkable nature of milk, pure for our drinking, produced from the bellies of animals among their blood and "farth". This is also cognate with the Hebrew word פֶּרֶשׁ (pereš<*pirš), attested in the Bible in Exodus 29:14, Leviticus 8:17, and Malachi 2:3, which means the same as the Arabic word.
In modern Arabic غدة means a gland as in the modern medical sense in endocrinology, but in Classical Arabic, it meant a hard lump in the tendinous parts or a lump of flesh arising from disease; these pestilences would also be found in livestock like camels (vid. Lane's Lexicon). Additionally, refer to Wasāʾil al-Shīʿah vol. 24 pg. 171 Chapter 31 (باب ما يحرم من الذبيحة ، وما يكره منها - Chapter on what is prohibited from slaughtered animals and what is disliked).
