الطَّرِيقِ مَطْرُوحَةً كَثِيرٍ لَحْمُهَا وَ خُبْزُهَا وَ بَيْضُهَا وَ جُبُنُّهَا وَ فِيهَا سِكِّينٌ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) يُقَوَّمُ مَا فِيهَا ثُمَّ يُؤْكَلُ لِأَنَّهُ يَفْسُدُ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ بَقَاءٌ فَإِنْ جَاءَ طَالِبُهَا غَرِمُوا لَهُ الثَّمَنَ قِيلَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَا يُدْرَى سُفْرَةُ مُسْلِمٍ أَوْ سُفْرَةُ مَجُوسِيٍّ فَقَالَ هُمْ فِي سَعَةٍ حَتَّى يَعْلَمُوا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> that Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> was asked about a meal on a table found on the road, abundant with its meat, and its bread, and its eggs, and its cheese, and among it is a knife. So Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whatever is therein would be evaluated, then eaten, because it would (otherwise) spoil, and there is no remaining for it. So it a seeker of it comes over, the price would be paid to him’. It was said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>! It is not known whether it is a meal of a Muslim or a meal of the Magians?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They are in a leeway until they come to know’.
