Al-Kafi 11415

Translation

One of our companions, from Mansour Bin Al Abbas, from Amro Bin Usman, from Quteyba Al A’asha, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, said, ‘I saw a man in his^asws presence asking him^asws that, ‘For me is a brother, so he stays behind among the flock in the mountain, so he gives the tooth in place of the tooth (barter)’. So he^asws said: ‘Is it not in good faith from his companions?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘So there is no problem with it’. He said, ‘So there happens to be a representative of his in it, and it happens to be a Jew or a Christian. So regarding the flock is an exhibition, so he sells a slaughtered (sheep), and is given its price, and sometimes it is meat, so he is given meat with it’. So he^asws said: ‘If he is given its price, so he should not mix it with his wealth and he should not move it (in business), and if he is given meat with it, so he should not eat it, for rather it (slaughter) is the Naming (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>), and there is none reliable over the Naming (<span class="iTxt">Bismillah</span>) except for a Muslim’. So, someone in the room said to him^asws, ‘So where are the Words of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:5#h5"><a href="/books/quran:5#h5">[5:5]</a></a> and the food of those who have been Given the Book is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them</span>?’ So he^asws said: ‘My^asws father^asws was saying: ‘That is for the grains and what resembles it’.
