۞
3. Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith the following is narrated from Muhammad ibn Sulayman from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, and abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about clothes of fur in Salah (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘Do not perform Salah (prayer) with it unless it is made clean, by properly slaughtering.’ I then asked, ’Is proper slaughtering done with iron? He (the Imam) said, ’Yes, if it is of edible flesh.’ I then asked about that which is of edible flesh other than sheep. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not an offense to use fur of squirrel; it is an animal that does not eat flesh and it is not of that which the Messenger of Allah prohibited; the Messenger of Allah prohibited everything that has dogtooth and claw.’”
3ـ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله وَ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنْ لِبَاسِ الْفِرَاءِ وَالصَّلاَةِ فِيهَا فَقَالَ لاَ تُصَلِّ فِيهَا إِلاَّ فِيمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ ذَكِيّاً قَالَ قُلْتُ أَ وَلَيْسَ الذَّكِيُّ مِمَّا ذُكِّيَ بِالْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ بَلَى إِذَا كَانَ مِمَّا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ قُلْتُ وَمَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْغَنَمِ قَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِالسِّنْجَابِ فَإِنَّهُ دَابَّةٌ لاَ تَأْكُلُ اللَّحْمَ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ مِمَّا نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِذْ نَهَى عَنْ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ وَمِخْلَبٍ.
