[5/32] علل الشرائع: عن ابيه عن سعد عن ابن يزيد عن حماد عن حريزعن زرارة ومحمد بن مسلم وبريد قالوا: قال رجل لابي عبد الله عليه السلام: ان لي إبنا قد أحب ان يسألك عن حلال وحرام لا يسألك عما لا يعينه؟ قال: فقال، وهل يسأل الناس عن شئ أفضل من الحلال والحرام

Published English translation

5. [5/32] Ilal al-Sharai: From my father (Ali b. al-Husayn b. Babawayh) from Sa’d from Ibn Yazid from Hammad from Hariz from Zurara and Muhammad b. Muslim and Burayd all of whom said: a man said to Abi Abdillah عليه السلام: I have a son – I do wish for him to ask you about the Halal and the Haram and not about that which does not concern him, so he said: and do the people ask about a subject better than the Halal and the Haram?!

verification Note
Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
