عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ أَكْلِ الْجَرَادِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِأَكْلِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّهُ نَثْرَةٌ مِنْ حُوتٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ السَّمَكَ وَ الْجَرَادَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَهُوَ ذَكِيٌّ وَ الْأَرْضُ لِلْجَرَادِ مَصِيدَةٌ وَ لِلسَّمَكِ قَدْ يَكُونُ أَيْضاً .
