The Fourth Matter One should not accept bounties which arrive at the hands of apparent causes on account of the causes. If a cause like an animal or a tree does not possess will, it gives the bounty directly on account of Almighty God. It says: “In the Name of God” through the tongue of disposition and gives it to you. So you too should say: “In the Name of God,” and take it for God’s sake. If the cause possesses will, he should say: “In the Name of God,” and you may accept it, otherwise you should refuse it. Apart from its explicit meaning, the verse, Eat not of [meats] on which God’s name has not been pronounced,(6:121) has an implicit meaning: Do not partake of bounties that do not recall the True Bestower of Bounties and are not given in His name.
