1. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from certain persons of his people, I think Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il who has said the following: “Certain ones among us mentioned two kinds of meat before abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’, ‘Alayhi al- Salam. He said, ‘No other meat is better than the meat of goat.’ Abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, looked at him and said, ‘Had Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, created any chunk of meat finer than that of sheep He would have presented that instead (of the ram) as ransom for ’Isma‘il, ‘Alayhi al-Salam.”’
Isnād'Alī ibn Muḥammad a rapporté de Sahl ibn Ziyād, de certains de ses compagnons, je pense que c'était Muḥammad ibn Ismā'īl, qui ont dit :
Certains d'entre nous ont mentionné le mouton devant Abū al-Ḥasan ar-Riḍā (sur lui la paix), qui a dit : "La viande la plus délicieuse est celle du chevreau." Abū al-Ḥasan (sur lui la paix) l'a regardé et a dit : "Si Dieu Tout-Puissant avait créé une bouchée plus délicieuse que celle du mouton, Ismā'īl (sur lui la paix) l'aurait rachetée avec elle."'
