Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Muslim from abu Yahya al-Wasitiy who has said the following: “Al-Rida’ (a.s.), was asked about the crow of several colors; if it can be use for food. He (the Imam) said, ‘Who is he that has made the black lawful for you for food?”’ جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (2/35))
