Hadith 969
۞
1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Ali b. al-Hakam from Ismail b. al-Muftari from his grandfather Ziyad b. Abi Ziyad from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said
“A person who eats mud may suffer from white spots and piles. A number of diseases affect him and the strength of his legs continues to reduce. The good deeds performed before eating mud will be rejected and his accounting of good deeds will be from those which are performed after this act. He will receive a lot of punishment as a result.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ الْمِنْقَرِیِّ عَنْ جَدِّهِ زِیَادِ بْنِ أَبِی زِیَادٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ
مَنْ أَکَلَ الطِّینَ فَإِنَّهُ یَقَعُ الْحِکَّهُ فِی جَسَدِهِ وَ الْبَوَاسِیرُ وَ یهج [یُهَیِّجُ] عَلَیْهِ السُّوءَ وَ یَذْهَبُ بِالْقُوَّهِ مِنْ سَاقَیْهِ وَ قَدَمَیْهِ وَ مَا نَقَصَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ فِیمَا بَیْنَهُ وَ بَیْنَ صِحَّتِهِ وَ قَبْلَ أَنْ یَأْکُلَهُ حُوسِبَ عَلَیْهِ وَ عُذِّبَ بِهِ.
