سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْجُبُنِّ فَقَالَ لِي لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْ طَعَامٍ يُعْجِبُنِي ثُمَّ أَعْطَى الْغُلَامَ دِرْهَماً فَقَالَ يَا غُلَامُ ابْتَعْ لَنَا جُبُنّاً وَ دَعَا بِالْغَدَاءِ فَتَغَدَّيْنَا مَعَهُ وَ أُتِيَ بِالْجُبُنِّ فَأَكَلَ وَ أَكَلْنَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا مِنَ الْغَدَاءِ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْجُبُنِّ فَقَالَ لِي أَ وَ لَمْ تَرَنِي أَكَلْتُهُ قُلْتُ بَلَى وَ لَكِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ سَأُخْبِرُكَ عَنِ الْجُبُنِّ وَ غَيْرِهِ كُلُّ مَا كَانَ فِيهِ حَلَالٌ وَ حَرَامٌ فَهُوَ لَكَ حَلَالٌ حَتَّى تَعْرِفَ الْحَرَامَ بِعَيْنِهِ فَتَدَعَهُ.
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Abdullah Bin Suleyman who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about the cheese, so he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘You have asked me<sup>asws</sup> about a food which I<sup>asws</sup> love’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> gave one Dirham to the slave, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O slave! Buy some cheese for us and call for the lunch’. So we had lunch with him<sup>asws</sup>, and they came with the cheese. So he<sup>asws</sup> ate and we ate with him<sup>asws</sup>. So when we were free from the lunch, I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding the cheese?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Or did you not see me<sup>asws</sup> eating it?’ I said, ‘Yes, but I would love to hear it from you<sup>asws</sup>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I shall inform you about the cheese and other such, everything what was Permissible regarding it, and Prohibited. So it is Permissible for you until you recognise the Prohibition with exactly it, so leave it’.
