مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْعَمْرَكِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْغُرَابِ الْأَبْقَعِ وَ الْأَسْوَدِ أَ يَحِلُّ أَكْلُهُمَا فَقَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ أَكْلُ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْغِرْبَانِ زَاغٍ وَ لَا غَيْرِهِ .
8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from al-‘Amrakiy ibn Ali from Ali ibn Ja‘far from his brother abu al-Hassan , who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan , about using crows of several colors and black ones, for food. He (the Imam) said, ‘None of the crows are lawful for food, zagh or others.’”
