tail from the other side. In the mean time, Sayyidunā ‘Alī کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم passed by and said, ‘How much is it?’ I informed him about the cost. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said, ‘What a wholesome food it is! How low-priced and adequate for those who depend on it!’
A’lā Ḥaḍrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has further said that it is quoted in Ḥayāt-ul-Ḥaywān: The Jirrīš fish resembles a snake, its plural is Jirrāšī, it is also called Jirrī, in Persian it is called Mārmāĥī, in the arguments by Ĥamzaĥ it is Ankalays. Jāḥiẓ said, ‘This is a water snake and the verdict about it is that it is Ḥalāl (permitted to eat). But which the jurists رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی call Jirrīš is certainly another fish than Mārmāĥī (Bām fish) as in texts, explanations, and Fatāwā (legal rulings issued by Islamic religious scholars), the names of both these fish have been clearly mentioned. لَا جَرَم (i.e., indeed) it was said in Mughrib, ‘هُوَ غَيۡرُ الۡمَارِّمَاهِي, i.e., that (Jirrīš) is another fish besides Mārmāĥī.’[1]
‘Allāmaĥ Ibn Kamāl Bāshā has said in Iṣlāḥ-o-Īḍāḥ, ‘Jirrīš is another species of fish apart from Mārmāĥī, i.e., the Bām fish, it is mentioned in the book, namely ‘Mughrib’. Both these fish are mentioned separately due to the reason that they are apparently unlike fish.’ (Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ, vol. 20, pp. 324-330)
