سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ مَنْ زَرَعَ حِنْطَةً فِي أَرْضٍ فَلَمْ يَزْكُ زَرْعُهُ أَوْ خَرَجَ زَرْعُهُ كَثِيرَ الشَّعِيرِ فَبِظُلْمِ عَمَلِهِ فِي مِلْكِ رَقَبَةِ الْأَرْضِ أَوْ بِظُلْمٍ لِمُزَارِعِيهِ وَ أَكَرَتِهِ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فَبِظُلْمٍ مِنَ الَّذِينَ هادُوا حَرَّمْنا عَلَيْهِمْ طَيِّباتٍ أُحِلَّتْ لَهُمْ يَعْنِي لُحُومَ الْإِبِلِ وَ الْبَقَرِ وَ الْغَنَمِ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ إِذَا أَكَلَ مِنْ لَحْمِ الْإِبِلِ هَيَّجَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَ الْخَاصِرَةِ فَحَرَّمَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ لَحْمَ الْإِبِلِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ التَّوْرَاةُ لَمْ يُحَرِّمْهُ وَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, or someone else, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdul Aziz Al Abdy, from Abdullah Bin Abu Yafour who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The one who cultivates wheat in a land, so it is not a pure produce, or most of the crop comes out as barley, so it is due to the injustice of his work regarding the owned title of the land, or due to an injustice to his farmers and hired labourers, because Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is Saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h160"><a href="/books/quran:4#h160">[4:160]</a></a> Due to the iniquity of those who are Jews did We Forbid to them the good things which had been made Lawful for them</span> – Meaning the flesh of the camels and the cows and the sheep. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘An Israelite, whenever he used to eat from the flesh of the camel, would suffer pain in his lower back, so he forbade unto himself the flesh of the camel, and that was before the Revelation of the Torah. So when the Torah was Revealed, it was not forbidden in it, but still they (Israelite) did not eat it’.
