alkafi-11490Vol. 6, p. 265

الْبَاغِي الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ وَ الْعَادِي الَّذِي يَقْطَعُ الطَّرِيقَ لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ الْمَيْتَةُ.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the words of Allah, most Blessed, most High, ‘Those who are compelled without being rebels or transgressors . . (2:172) He (the Imam) said, ‘A rebel is one who rises against the Imam and a transgressor is one who cuts off the road and dead animals are not lawful for him.”’
