Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ishaq from those whom he has mentioned from Muqatil ibn Muqatil who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about performing Salah (prayer) with sable, squirrel and fox. He (the Imam) said, ‘There is nothing good with all of it except squirrel which is an animal that does not eat meat.’” رسل و ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (15/316))
