Hadith.4207 - It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Khath'ami, from Hammad ibn Uthman, who said
I said to Abu Abdullah (as): "May I be your ransom! What do you say about eating 'Kan'at'?"
Imam (as) replied: "There is no harm in eating it."
I said: "But it has no scales."
Imam (as) replied: "Indeed, it does! However, it is a fish with bad manners that rubs against everything. If you look at the base of its ears, you will find scales."
4207 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى اَلْخَثْعَمِيُّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي اَلْكَنْعَتِ قَالَ
"لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَكْلِهِ" قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ قِشْرٌ قَالَ "بَلَى وَ لَكِنَّهَا حُوتَةٌ سَيِّئَةُ اَلْخُلُقِ تَحْتَكُّ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَإِذَا نَظَرْتَ فِي أَصْلِ أُذُنَيْهَا وَجَدْتَ لَهَا قِشْراً".
