The Sufficient (Vol 6) · Hadith 1574 (#Ḥadīth #1)

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ اللَّحْمِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِي الْأَسْنَانِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا مَا كَانَ فِي مُقَدَّمِ الْفَمِ فَكُلْهُ وَ مَا كَانَ فِي الْأَضْرَاسِ فَاطْرَحْهُ .

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Ishaq ibn Jarir who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah , about the meat that remains between the teeth. He (the Imam) said, ’What is between the front teeth you can eat; but what is between the back teeth you must throw it away.’”
