Those are the pigs of the birds , and the best of the meats is the meat of partridge, raised or nearly raised.’ [17] عنه، عن السيارى، عمن رواه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: من سره أن يقتل غيظه فليأكل لحم الدراج From him, from Al Sayari, from the one who reported it, said, Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘The one who wants to kill his anger so let him eat the meat of the pheasant.’ [18] عنه، عن بعض أصحابنا، عن ابن أخت الاوزاعي، عن مسعدة بن اليسع، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: قال أمير المؤمنين (ع): السمك الطرى يذيب اللحم From him, from one of our companions, from nephew of Al Awzai’e, from Mas’ada Bin Al Yas’a, Abu Abdullah -asws has said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘The fresh fish melts the meat (reduces obesity).’ [19] الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ سُئِلَ عَنْ لَحْمِ الْخَيْلِ وَ الْبِغَالِ وَ الْحُمُرِ فَقَالَ حَلَالٌ وَ لَكِنْ تَعَافُونَهَا (The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – from his father, from Safwan, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, From Abu Ja’far -asws , and he -asws had been asked about meat of the horse, and the mule, and the donkey.
He -asws said: ‘Permissible but avoid these.’ [20] In Holy Quran, Allah -azwj Says: كُلُّ الطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِلًّا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَّا مَا حَرَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُنَزَّلَ التَّوْرَاةُ ۗ قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ فَاتْلُوهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ {93} All food was Permissible for the Children of Israel except that which Israel had forbidden upon itself from before the Revelation of the Torah.
Say: ‘So come with the Torah and recite it, if you are truthful!’ [3:93] محمد بن يعقوب: عن محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد أو غيره، عن ابن محبوب، عن عبد العزيز العبدي، عن عبد الله بن أبي يعفور، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال: «إن إسرائيل كان إذا أكل من لحم الإبل هيج عليه وجع الخاصرة، فحرم على نفسه لحم الإبل، و ذلك قبل أن تنزل التوراة، فلما نزلت التوراة لم يحرمه و لم يأكله» Muhammad Bin Yaqoub, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad or someone else, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdul Aziz Al Abdy, from Abdullah Bin Abu Ya’four, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws : ‘When the Israelites used to eat from the flesh of the camel, it caused them pain in their lower back.
So they forbade upon themselves the flesh of the camel. And that was before the Revelation of the Torah.
