مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ آدَمَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَطْرَةِ خَمْرٍ أَوْ نَبِيذٍ مُسْكِرٍ قَطَرَتْ فِي قِدْرٍ فِيهَا لَحْمٌ كَثِيرٌ وَ مَرَقٌ كَثِيرٌ فَقَالَ ( عليه السلام ) يُهَرَاقُ الْمَرَقُ أَوْ يُطْعِمُهُ لِأَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ أَوِ الْكِلَابِ وَ اللَّحْمَ فَاغْسِلْهُ وَ كُلْهُ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ قَطَرَ فِيهَا الدَّمُ فَقَالَ الدَّمُ تَأْكُلُهُ النَّارُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ قُلْتُ فَخَمْرٌ أَوْ نَبِيذٌ قَطَرَ فِي عَجِينٍ أَوْ دَمٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ فَسَدَقُلْتُ أَبِيعُهُ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وَ النَّصَارَى وَ أُبَيِّنُ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ شُرْبَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ وَ الْفُقَّاعُ هُوَ بِتِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ إِذَا قَطَرَ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ آكُلَهُ إِذَا قَطَرَ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ طَعَامِي .
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Musa from al-Hassan ibn al-Mubarak from Zakariya ibn Adam who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about a large cooking pot with a large amount of meat and broth in it and a drop of wine or al-Nabidh is dropped therein. He (the Imam) said, ’It must be thrown away or fed to the taxpayers or dogs. You can wash the meat and eat it.’ I then asked about what happens if one drop of blood is dropped in it. ’The fire, if Allah wills, eats the blood,’ said the Imam. I then asked about if wine or al-Nabidh by a drop is dropped in flour dough or a drop of blood. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is destroyed.’ I then asked if I can sell it to Jews or Christians and tell all about it because they consider drinking it lawful.’ He (the Imam) said, ’Yes, you can do so.’ I then asked about al-Fuqa‘ (beer) if it is like wine, and al-Nabidh when one drop of it is dropped in something. He (the Imam) said, ‘I do not like to eat it if anything thereof is dropped in my food.’”
