Hadith.4182 - And Abu Bakr al-Hadrami narrated from Al-Ward bin Zaid, who said
I said to Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), 'Relate to me a narration and dictate it to me so that I may write it down.'
Imam (as) said: 'Where is your memory, O people of Kufa?'
I said: 'So that no one disputes it with me later.'
I then asked: 'What do you say about a Magian who says 'In the name of Allah (swt)' and slaughters an animal?'
Imam (as) said: 'Eat.'
I said: 'What if a Muslim slaughters but does not mention the name of Allah (swt)?'
Imam (as) replied: 'Do not eat. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Exalted, says:
'So eat of that upon which the name of Allah (swt) has been mentioned' (Surah Al-An'am 6:118)
and He (swt) also says:
'And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah (swt) has not been mentioned.' (Surah Al-An'am 6:121)'"

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ حَدِّثْنِي حَدِيثاً وَ أَمْلِ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى أَكْتُبَهُ فَقَالَ "أَيْنَ حِفْظُكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ اَلْكُوفَةِ " قُلْتُ حَتَّى لاَ يَرُدَّهُ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ، مَا تَقُولُ فِي مَجُوسِيٍّ قَالَ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ وَ ذَبَحَ فَقَالَ "كُلْ" فَقُلْتُ مُسْلِمٌ ذَبَحَ وَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ فَقَالَ "لاَ تَأْكُلْ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: فَكُلُوا مِمّٰا ذُكِرَ اِسْمُ اَللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَقُولُ وَ لاٰ تَأْكُلُوا مِمّٰا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اِسْمُ اَللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِ ".
