حدثنا المظفر بن جعفر بن المظفر العلوي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مسعود، عن أبيه، قال حدثنا الحسين بن إشكيب، قال حدثنا محمد بن السري عن الحسين بن سعيد، عن أبي أحمد محمد بن أبي عمير، عن علي بن أبي حمزة، عن عبد الأعلى قال: سألت جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام عن قول الله عز وجل: " فاجتنبوا الرجس من الأوثان واجتنبوا قول الزور " قال: الرجس من الأوثان الشطرنج، وقول الزور الغناء، قلت: قوله عز وجل " ومن الناس من يشتري لهو الحديث " قال: منه الغناء.
1.	We were told by Mudaffar bin Ja’far bin Mudaffar al-Alawi, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Ja’far bin Muhammed bin Mas’ud, from his father, that he said: We were told by Hussain bin Ishkeeb, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Surri, from Hussain bin Sa’eed, from Abu Ahmad, Muhammed bin Abi ‘Umayr, from Ali bin Abi Hamza, from Abdul-A’la, that he said: I asked Ja’far bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «So, avoid the filth of idols and forged statement» (22:30). He said: Filth from idols is chess, and forged speech is singing. I said: The saying of Him, Exalted and Glorious is He: «And among the people is the one who buys amusement of speech» (31:6). He said: From it is singing.
