Chapter on Water and Its Rules, and What is Permissible and Impermissible for Purification
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ اَلْعَمْرَكِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْفَأْرَةِ وَ اَلْكَلْبِ إِذَا أَكَلاَ اَلْخُبْزَ أَوْ شَمَّاهُ أَ يُؤْكَلُ قَالَ« يُطْرَحُ مَا شَمَّاهُ وَ يُؤْكَلُ مَا بَقِيَ».
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya narrated from al-‘Amraki, from Ali ibn Ja'far, from his brother Imam Musa ibn Ja'far عليه السلام, who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about a mouse or a dog eating or sniffing the bread. Should it be eaten? Imam عليه السلام said: "Discard what they sniffed and eat what remains."
