Hadith 20

(The book) ‘Al-Basaair’ – From Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad, from his father Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Shareef, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ismail Bin Abbad, from Aamor Bin Ali Al-Jamie who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! We tend to eat the slaughters by people of the Book and we do not know whether they are naming (Allah-azwj) upon it or not! ’
He-asws said: ‘When you hear them naming so eat! Do you know what they are saying upon their slaughters? ’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws recited and if he-asws was resembling a Jew, being quick in it (having understood it), then said, ‘They have been Commanded with this’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! If you-asws see fit, we can write it’. He-asws said: ‘Write (Being in Hebrew) – ‘Nuh-as Aywa Adeynu Yalheen Malhou Ashrasou awrazou binawanu Satwad Aal As’hatou’’. [35]
Explanation: And I (Majlisi) am saying, the Hebrew writing, I found it being like this in a copy of Al-Basaair, and there are many errors in it from the reporters due to lack of their not knowing that language (Hebrew), and what which I heard from one of the insightful one knowing their language, and he was from their scholars is the supplication which the Jews tend to recite during the slaughter. Like this I am referring along with its commentary. ‘Baroukh’ = Blessed, ‘Ata’ = You’, ‘Adwany (adeynu) = Allah-azwj, ‘Al-Wahnou’ (yalheen) – Our God’, Malkh Haoulaham’ (malhou) – King of the worlds, ‘Ashr’ (ashrasou) = the One Who’, ‘Qadshanou’ = Sanctify us, ‘Bemeysawtawu’ = by His-azwj Command, ‘Waseywanu’ = And Commanded upon, ‘Hashhayta’ = slaughter’.
