A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from certain persons of our people who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Ten items in a sheep are not edible. Of such items is dung, blood, spleen, spinal cord, al- ‘Ilba ’(thyroid glands), penis, testicles, al-Haya (female genitals) and gallbladder.’” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (2/47))
