قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا تَقُولُ فِي طَعَامِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَقَالَ لَا تَأْكُلْهُ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا تَأْكُلْهُ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا تَأْكُلْهُ وَ لَا تَتْرُكْهُ تَقُولُ إِنَّهُ حَرَامٌ وَ لَكِنْ تَتْرُكُهُ تَنَزُّهاً عَنْهُ إِنَّ فِي آنِيَتِهِمُ الْخَمْرَ وَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Ismail Bin Jabir who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding the food of the People of the Book?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do not eat it’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> was silent for a while, then said: ‘Do not eat it’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> was silent for a while, then said: ‘Do not eat it, and do not leave it saying that it is Prohibited, but leave it turning away from it if in their vessels is the wine and the flesh of the swine’.
