١١- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَضَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي رَجُلٍ أَكَلَ وَأَصْحَابٌ لَهُ شَاةً فَقَالَ إِنْ أَكَلْتُمُوهَا فَهِيَ لَكُمْ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَأْكُلُوهَا فَعَلَيْكُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَضَى فِيهِ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ بَاطِلٌ لا شَيْ‏ءَ فِي الْمُؤَاكَلَةِ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ مَا قَلَّ مِنْهُ وَمَا كَثُرَ وَمَنَعَ غَرَامَتَهُ فِيهِ.
11. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yusuf ibn ‘Aqif from Muhammad ibn Qays who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja‘far , has said that about the case of a man who had a sheep told his people, ‘If you eat all of it, it then is yours; but if you could not eat, then you must pay such and such amount.’ ’ Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali, issued a judgment that said, ‘It is invalid. There is nothing in eating food, more or less’; and he (the Imam) prohibited it.”
