Hadith 3

And I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by the Sheykh Al-Mufeed in the mentioned ‘Al-Risala’, and the Seyyid Al-Murtaza, in an answer to the questions in (the book) ‘Al-Tarablusiyaat’, from Abu Al-Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Qawlawiya, from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Shueyb Al-Aqarquqy who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws, and with us was Abu Baseer and some people from the mountain people asking him-asws about the slaughters by people of the Book. Abu Abdullah-asws said to them: ‘You have already heard what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said in His-azwj Book’. They said, ‘We would love it if you-asws were to inform us’. He-asws said: ‘Do not eat it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘When we went out from his-asws presence, Abu Baseer said to me, ‘Eat it, for you heard him-asws, and he-asws has legalised entirety, instructing with eating it’. We returned to him-asws. Abu Baseer said to me, ‘Ask him-asws’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! What are you-asws saying regarding slaughters by people of the Book? ’ He-asws said: ‘He-asws said: ‘Have you witnessed us-asws this morning and heard? ’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Do not eat it’. Abu Baseer said to me, ‘Eat it, and it is upon my neck’. Then he said, ‘Ask him a second time’. I asked him-asws. He-asws said to me similar to his first word: ‘Do not eat it’. Abu Baseer said to me, ‘Ask him-asws a third time’. I said, ‘I will not ask him-asws after twice’’. [5]
Explanation: It is reported by the Sheykh in (the book) ‘Al-Tehzeeb’, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, with this chain, and his-asws words: ‘You have already heard what Allah-azwj has Said’, ‘It is possible that it happens to be an indication to Words of the Exalted: And do not eat from what Allah’s Name has not been mentioned upon [6: 121]; and it is (also) possible that it happens to be an indication to his-azwj Words: and the food of those Given the Book [5: 5], as Taqiyya (dissimulation) for the betterment requiring the urgency in the questioning, leaving its care’.
