حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ صَاحِبُ الْحِيتَانِ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا بِسَمَكٍ نَتَلَقَّى بِهِ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَدْ خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ قَدْ قَدِمَ هُوَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ يَا فُلَانُ لَعَلَّ مَعَكَ سَمَكاً فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا سَيِّدِي جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ انْزِلُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ لَعَلَّهُ زَهْوٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَأَرَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ ارْكَبُوا لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيهِ وَ الزَّهْوُ سَمَكٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ قِشْرٌ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from his uncle Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far, from Is’haq, owner of the fish, who said, ‘We went out with fish to meet Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> with it, and we had exited from Al-Medina, and he<sup>asws</sup> had proceeded from a journey of his<sup>asws</sup>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Woe be unto you, O so and so! Perhaps there are fishes with you?’ So I said, ‘Yes, O my master<sup>asws</sup>, may I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>!’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Descend you all!’ Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Woe be unto you, perhaps it is Siganus?’ I said, ‘Yes’. So I showed it to him<sup>asws</sup>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Ride! There is no need for us<sup>asws</sup> with regards to it, and the Siganus is a fish which has no scales on it’.
