أَقْرَأَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) شَيْئاً مِنْ كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) فَإِذَا فِيهِ أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الْجِرِّيِّ وَ الزِّمِّيرِ وَ الْمَارْمَاهِي وَ الطَّافِي وَ الطِّحَالِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّا نُؤْتَى بِالسَّمَكِ لَيْسَ لَهُ قِشْرٌ فَقَالَ كُلْ مَا لَهُ قِشْرٌ مِنَ السَّمَكِ وَ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ قِشْرٌ فَلَا تَأْكُلْهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, altogether from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> made me read something from the Book of Ali<sup>asws</sup>, so there was in it – you have been forbidden from the catfish, and the glyptothorax (mountain catfish), and the sea horse, and the floating fish (dead), and the spleen. I said, ‘O son<sup>asws</sup> of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! They come to us with fish with no scales on it’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Eat from the fish what has scales for it, and what does not have scales for it, so do not eat it’.
