لَا يَحِلُّ أَكْلُ الْجِرِّيِّ وَ لَا السُّلَحْفَاةِ وَ لَا السَّرَطَانِ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اللَّحْمِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِي أَصْدَافِ الْبَحْرِ وَ الْفُرَاتِ أَ يُؤْكَلُ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ لَحْمُ الضَّفَادِعِ لَا يَحِلُّ أَكْلُهُ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Al Amraky Bin Ali, (It has been narrated) from Ali son of Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, from his brother<sup>asws</sup> Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘It is not Permissible to eat the catfish, nor the tortoise, nor the crab’. And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the flesh which happens to be in the sea shells of the sea, and the Euphrates, can one eat?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘That is a flesh of the frogs, it is not Permissible to eat it’.
