كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَوَائِمُ السُّيُوفِ الَّتِي تُسَمَّى السَّفَنَ أَتَّخِذُهَا مِنْ جُلُودِ السَّمَكِ فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ الْعَمَلُ لَهَا وَ لَسْنَا نَأْكُلُ لُحُومَهَا فَكَتَبَ ( عليه السلام ) لَا بَأْسَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Al Qasim Al Sayqal who said, ‘I wrote to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The studding of the swords which are names as Al-Saffan, having been taken from the fish skins, so is it allowed to be working on it and we do not eat its flesh?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote: ‘There is no problem’.
