Original Arabic text

5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْعَلَوِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) إِنِّي أَدْخُلُ سُوقَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَعْنِي هَذَا الْخَلْقَ الَّذِينَ يَدَّعُونَ الإِسْلاَمَ فَأَشْتَرِي مِنْهُمُ الْفِرَاءَ لِلتِّجَارَةِ فَأَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهَا أَ لَيْسَ هِيَ ذَكِيَّةٌ فَيَقُولُ بَلَى فَهَلْ يَصْلُحُ لِي أَنْ أَبِيعَهَا عَلَى أَنَّهَا ذَكِيَّةٌ فَقَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تَبِيعَهَا وَتَقُولَ قَدْ شَرَطَ لِيَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَيْتُهَا مِنْهُ أَنَّهَا ذَكِيَّةٌ قُلْتُ وَمَا أَفْسَدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ اسْتِحْلاَلُ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ لِلْمَيْتَةِ وَزَعَمُوا أَنَّ دِبَاغَ جِلْدِ الْمَيْتَةِ ذَكَاتُهُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْضَوْا أَنْ يَكْذِبُوا فِي ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه).

Published English translation

5. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ishaq al-‘Alaviy from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Hilal from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘I enter al-Suq (market place) of Muslims, meaning thereby these people who are called Muslims and buy from them fur for business purposes. I ask the owner, ‘Is it of properly slaughtered animals?’ He says, ‘Yes, it is of properly slaughtered animals.’ Can I sell it as that from properly slaughtered animals? He (the Imam) said, ‘No, you cannot do so; however, it is not an offense to sell it and say that the one from whom you purchased has said that it is from properly slaughtered animals.’ I then asked, ‘What has destroyed it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is because people of Iraq consider dead animals as clean, thinking that tanning makes it lawful and it is its properly slaughtering and then they do not remain satisfied without saying that it is from the Messenger of Allah.’”
