101. We were told by Abu’l-Hasan, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ahmad al-Tabari, that he said: We were told by Abu Sa’eed, that he said: We were told by Khirash, that he said: We were told by my master, Anas, that he said: The companions of Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, used to treat on the ocean. It means that trade and sailing on the ocean while it is not agitated is not among what is disliked (of acts), and it is one of the acts of dispersing and seeking which Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, has given permission to, with the saying of Him, Exalted and Glorious is He: «And when the prayer is fulfilled, disperse in the land and seek from the bounty of Allah» (60:10). A narration has been narrated with regards to sailing on the ocean and prohibition from it.
IsnādMuhammad ibn Ali Majilouyeh a rapporté de son oncle Muhammad ibn Abi al-Qasim, d'Ahmad ibn Abi Abdullah al-Barqi, de son père, de Muhammad ibn Sinan, de Mufaddal ibn Umar, qui a dit: J'ai interrogé Abu Abdullah (as) sur le sens des paroles de l'Imam Ali (as) lorsqu'il regarda un homme enveloppé dans son manteau et dit: "Personne n'est plus cher pour moi que de présenter à Dieu un parchemin de ce manteau." Il a dit: Par ce parchemin, il faisait référence au parchemin qui avait été écrit dans la Kaaba.
