“About the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘So He will test you in what your hands or spears have hunted/ (5:95) abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘During al-‘Umrah of al-Hudaybiyah, wild animals crowded around the Messenger of Allah, so much so that their hands and spears could easily reach.”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَيَبْلُوَنَّكُمُ اللَّهُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّيْدِ تَنالُهُ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَ رِماحُكُمْ قَالَ حُشِرَ عَلَيْهِمُ الصَّيْدُ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ حَتَّى دَنَا مِنْهُمْ لِيَبْلُوَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the meaning of the words of Allah, ‘O believing people, Allah will certainly try you in the matters of hunting that your hands and spears may achieve for you.’ (5:95) He (the Imam) said, ‘He spread the preys everywhere until they (preys) were very close to the people so Allah
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- ذَوا عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ[2] قَالَ الْعَدْلُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ الْإِمَامُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا مِمَّا أَخْطَأَتْ بِهِ الْكُتَّابُ.[3]
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the meaning of the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘Two just people among you. . .’ (5:96) He (the Imam) said, ‘The just person is a reference to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Yo
مَا تَنَالُهُ الْأَيْدِي الْبَيْضُ وَ الْفِرَاخُ وَ مَا تَنَالُهُ الرِّمَاحُ فَهُوَ مَا لَا تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ الْأَيْدِي.
‘That which their hands and spears achieve.’ (5:95) He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said what hands achieve is a reference to the eggs and chicks. ‘What your spears achieve’ is a reference to that which hands do not reach.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- يَحْكُمُ بِهِ ذَوا عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ قَالَ الْعَدْلُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ الْإِمَامُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا مِمَّا أَخْطَأَتْ بِهِ الْكُتَّابُ.
‘The just person is a reference to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and the Imam after him.’ He then said, ‘A mistake is made in it by the scribes (interpreters).”’
إِنَّ رَجُلًا انْطَلَقَ وَ هُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَأَخَذَ ثَعْلَباً فَجَعَلَ يُقَرِّبُ النَّارَ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ وَ جَعَلَ الثَّعْلَبُ يَصِيحُ وَ يُحْدِثُ مِنِ اسْتِهِ وَ جَعَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَنْهَوْنَهُ عَمَّا يَصْنَعُ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَبَيْنَمَا الرَّجُلُ نَائِمٌ إِذْ جَاءَتْهُ حَيَّةٌ فَدَخَلَتْ فِي فِيهِ فَلَمْ تَدَعْهُ حَتَّى جَعَلَ يُحْدِثُ كَمَا أَحْدَثَ الثَّعْلَبُ ثُمَّ خَلَّتْ عَنْهُ.
Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) has said that a man in the state of Ihram captured a fox. He then began to bring fire close to the fox’s face, which made it nervous and it released gas from its behind. His friends told him to stop what he was doing; thereafter he set the fox free. When this man went to sleep, a snake came and ent
فِي رَجُلٍ أَكَلَ مِنْ لَحْمِ صَيْدٍ لَا يَدْرِي مَا هُوَ وَ هُوَ مُحْرِمٌ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ دَمُ شَاةٍ.
“About a man who in the state of Ihram eats of the flesh of a prey and does not know what it is, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ’He owes one sheep.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَضَى حَجَّهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ صَيْدٌ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ وَ الصَّيْدُ مُتَوَجِّهٌ نَحْوَ الْحَرَمِ فَرَمَاهُ فَقَتَلَهُ مَا عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ قَالَ يَفْدِيهِ عَلَى نَحْوِهِ[2].
An animal, which is a subject to hunting, approaches near al- Haram (the sacred area) moving toward it. He shoots at it and kills it: if he owes anything. He (the Imam) said, ‘He owes a ransom likewise (similar to the prey).”’
سَأَلْتُ الرَّجُلَ[3] عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يَشْرَبُ الْمَاءَ مِنْ قِرْبَةٍ أَوْ سِقَاءٍ اتُّخِذَ مِنْ جُلُودِ الصَّيْدِ هَلْ يَجُوزُ ذَلِكَ أَمْ لَا فَقَالَ يَشْرَبُ مِنْ جُلُودِهَا.
‘He can drink from the skins of the animal that are hunted.’”
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مُزَامَلَةً فِيمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى الْحَرَمِ نَزَلَ وَ اغْتَسَلَ وَ أَخَذَ نَعْلَيْهِ بِيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْحَرَمَ حَافِياً فَصَنَعْتُ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَانُ مَنْ صَنَعَ مِثْلَ مَا رَأَيْتَنِي صَنَعْتُ تَوَاضُعاً لِلَّهِ مَحَا اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ كَتَبَ لَهُ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ وَ بَنَى اللَّهُ عَز
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘ Abd Allah from his father from al-Qasim ibn Ibrahim from Aban ibn Taghlib who has said the following: “I was in the presence of abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, as journey-mate between al-Madinah and Makkah. When we arrived at the area of al-Haram (the sacre
