عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ صَيْدِ الْمَجُوسِيِّ لِلْحِيتَانِ حِينَ يَضْرِبُونَ عَلَيْهَا بِالشِّبَاكِ وَ يُسَمُّونَ بِالشِّرْكِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِصَيْدِهِمْ إِنَّمَا صَيْدُ الْحِيتَانِ أَخْذُهُقَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْحَظِيرَةِ مِنَ الْقَصَبِ تُجْعَلُ فِي الْمَاءِ لِلْحِيتَانِ تَدْخُلُ فِيهَا الْحِيتَانُ فَيَمُوتُ بَعْضُهَا فِيهَا فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ إِنَّ تِلْكَ الْحَظِيرَةَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَتْ لِيُصَادَ بِهَا .

9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about the fishing by Zoroastrian by means of fishing nets and with a mention of the pagan consecration expressions. He (the Imam) said, ‘Their fishing is not unlawful; fishing is catching them (alive).’ I then asked about a barricade of reeds with water in it for fish. Fish enters it and certain ones of them die in it. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful; the barricade is set for fishing.’”

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فِي الرَّجُلِ يَنْصِبُ شَبَكَةً فِي الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَ يَتْرُكُهَا مَنْصُوبَةً وَ يَأْتِيهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ قَدْ وَقَعَ فِيهَا سَمَكٌ فَيَمُتْنَ فَقَالَ مَا عَمِلَتْ يَدُهُ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِأَكْلِ مَا وَقَعَ فِيهَا .

10.

He (the Imam) said, ‘If its scales are peeled off then do not use it for food; but if it is not peeled off you can use it for food.’”

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ مَرْوَكِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) نَهَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) أَنْ يَتَصَيَّدَ الرَّجُلُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ كَانَ ( عليه السلام ) يَمُرُّ بِالسَّمَّاكِينَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَيَنْهَاهُمْ عَنْ أَنْ يَتَصَيَّدُوا مِنَ السَّمَكِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ .
