Hadith 933
۞
Hadith.4146 - Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Ali ibn Ri'ab, from Zurara ibn Ayan, that he said:
By Allah (swt), I have never seen anyone like Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as).
I asked him and said: "May Allah (swt) rectify your affairs, what birds are permissible to eat?"
Imam (as) said: "Eat whatever flaps its wings, and do not eat what glides."
I said: "What about eggs found in thickets?"
Imam (as) said: "If both ends are equal, then do not eat it, but if the two ends are different, then eat it."
I asked: "What about water birds?"
Imam (as) said: "Eat whatever has a crop, and do not eat what does not have a crop."
In another narration, Imam (as) said: "If the bird glides and flaps, but its flapping is more than its gliding, then it may be eaten; but if its gliding is more than its flapping, then it should not be eaten. From water birds, what has a crop or a spur may be eaten, and what lacks them should not be eaten."
4146 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ: وَ اَللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَطُّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اَللَّهُ مَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنَ اَلطَّيْرِ فَقَالَ "كُلْ مَا دَفَّ وَ لاَ تَأْكُلْ مَا صَفَّ" قَالَ قُلْتُ اَلْبَيْضُ فِي اَلْآجَامِ قَالَ "كُلُّ مَا اِسْتَوَى طَرَفَاهُ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ وَ كُلُّ مَا اِخْتَلَفَ طَرَفَاهُ فَكُلْ" قُلْتُ فَطَيْرُ اَلْمَاءِ قَالَ "كُلُّ مَا كَانَتْ لَهُ قَانِصَةٌ فَكُلْ وَ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ قَانِصَةٌ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ ".
وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ: "إِنْ كَانَ اَلطَّيْرُ يَصُفُّ وَ يَدُفُّ فَكَانَ دَفِيفُهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ صَفِيفِهِ أُكِلَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ صَفِيفُهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ دَفِيفِهِ فَلَمْ يُؤْكَلْ وَ يُؤْكَلُ مِنْ طَيْرِ اَلْمَاءِ مَا كَانَتْ لَهُ قَانِصَةٌ أَوْ صِيصِيَةٌ وَ لاَ يُؤْكَلُ مَا لَيْسَتْ لَهُ قَانِصَةٌ أَوْ صِيصِيَةٌ".
