عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَا تُؤْكَلُ مِنَ الشَّاةِ عَشَرَةُ أَشْيَاءَ الْفَرْثُ وَ الدَّمُ وَ الطِّحَالُ وَ النُّخَاعُ وَ الْعِلْبَاءُ وَ الْغُدَدُ وَ الْقَضِيبُ وَ الْأُنْثَيَانِ وَ الْحَيَاءُ وَ الْمَرَارَةُ .
3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from certain persons of our people who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Ten items in a sheep are not edible. Of such items is dung, blood, spleen, spinal cord, al- ‘Ilba ’(thyroid glands), penis, testicles, al-Haya (female genitals) and gallbladder.’”
