سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ سَمَكَةٍ وَثَبَتْ مِنْ نَهَرٍ فَوَقَعَتْ عَلَى الْجُدِّ مِنَ النَّهَرِ فَمَاتَتْ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ أَكْلُهَا فَقَالَ إِنْ أَخَذْتَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَمُوتَ ثُمَّ مَاتَتْ فَكُلْهَا وَ إِنْ مَاتَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَأْخُذَهَا فَلَا تَأْكُلْهَا.

11. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from al-‘Amrakiy ibn Ali from Ali ibn Ja‘far from his brother, Musa ibn Ja‘far (a.s.), who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about a fish that jumps out of the canal and lands on the side and it then dies: if it can be used for food. He (the Imam) said, ‘If you pick it up before it dies you can use it for food but if it dies before you pick it up, then do not use it for food.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
