The Excellence of Shoulder Over other Parts
Al-Kāfi|Volume 6|Book 5|Chapter 65
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَمَّتِ الْيَهُودِيَّةُ النَّبِيَّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي ذِرَاعٍ وَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يُحِبُّ الذِّرَاعَ وَ الْكَتِفَ وَ يَكْرَهُ الْوَرِكَ لِقُرْبِهَا مِنَ الْمَبَالِ .
3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad al-Ash‘ariy from ibn al-Qaddah who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, saying, ‘The Jewish woman poisoned the Holy Prophet with shoulder meat and the Holy Prophet, liked it greatly but he disliked meat from the hip area because it is close to the urinating part.’”
