۞
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Ishaq ibn Jarir who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the meat that remains between the teeth. He (the Imam) said, ’What is between the front teeth you can eat; but what is between the back teeth you must throw it away.’”
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ اللَّحْمِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِي الْأَسْنَانِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا مَا كَانَ فِي مُقَدَّمِ الْفَمِ فَكُلْهُ وَ مَا كَانَ فِي الْأَضْرَاسِ فَاطْرَحْهُ .
