If a pebble falls from the hand of a man, he can take one from under his feet and throw it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If you throw a pebble and it hits the carriage you must repeat throwing one in its place, but if it hits a man or a camel then hits al-Jamar it is sufficient.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘About a man who throws four on al-’Ula’ and seven on each of the other two, he must go back to throw three more on al-’Ula’. In so doing his task is complete; but if he has thrown three on al-’Ula’ and seven on each of the other two, he must repeat and throw pebbles on all of them, seven pebbles on each one. If he throws three pebbles on al-Wusta’ then he throws on al-’Ukhra’, he must throw on al-Wusta’ seven pebbles. If he has thrown four on al-Wusta he must go back to throw three more.’ I then asked him (the Imam) about a man who reverses the order so he begins with al-’Aqabah then al-Wusta’ then al-’Uzma’.

He (the Imam) said, ‘He must come back and do Sa‘y between al- Safa’ and al-Marwah again, it is not like throwing pebbles on al-Jamar.

If he has not paid in cash he can return it and buy another.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Buy a fatty male for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous); if you cannot, then find a mawju’ (cow); if you cannot find it then a male goat, if you do not find, then an ewe, if you cannot find then buy what is available for an offering.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘For al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) young sheep is sufficient, a young goat is not sufficient.’ About a man who bought a sheep and wanted to buy one more fat, abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘He can buy it but he sells the first one.’ I do not know if he (the Imam) spoke of sheep or cow.”

12. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has narrated from his ancestors who have stated this Hadith. ‘The Holy prophet, O Allah, grant compensation, to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “You must not sacrifice as offering what (of animal) is limping that is apparent, an emaciated, scabby, with torn ears or cut-off tail.’””

If you buy it weak and found it fatty, it is sufficient but if you bought it weak and found it lean it is not sufficient.’” NOTE: In another Hadith it is said that the degree of weakness is measured by examining if there is any fat on its kidneys or not.
16. Muhammad ibn ‘Isa has narrated from Yasin al-Darir from Hariz from al-Fudayl who has said the following: “One year my family and I went for al-Hajj but cattle became very expensive. I went and bought two sheep, which were expensive. When I examined them closely, I regretted greatly because they were very weak. I brought them and informed him (the Imam) ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about it and he (the Imam) said, ‘If there is any fat on their kidneys, then it is sufficient.’”
17. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad from al-Sullamiy from Dawud al-Riqqiy who has said the following: “Certain persons of al-Khawarij asked me about this verse of al-Quran: ‘Of two sheep and of two goats, ask which one is made unlawful? (Is it) male or female? (6:142) (What is the meaning of) camels two and of cows two?’ (6:143) ‘What Allah has made lawful and what has He made unlawful?’ I did not have any answer. I went to see abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, when I was there for al- Hajj. I informed him (the Imam) of the story and he (the Imam) said, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, for sacrifice in Mina’, has made domesticated sheep and goats lawful. He has made the wild ones unlawful, and His words, ‘Of camels two and of cows two’, means that Allah, most Blessed, most High, has made al-Trab camels lawful for offering as sacrifice and has made unlawful what is al- Bukhatiy. He has made domesticated cows lawful for offering as sacrifice and the wild ones unlawful.’ I returned to the man and informed him of the answer. He said, ‘This is something which camel has carried on its back from al-Hijaz.’”
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaniy who has said the following: “This is about the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘In cattle there are benefits for you for an appointed time.’ (22:34) Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that of such benefits are using them for transportation without harshness or milking them, if applicable, without draining everything in their udder.”
2. A number of our people have narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Hisham ibn Salim from Sulayman ibn Khalid who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If a badanah gives birth you can milk it without harming its young. You then can slaughter both of them.’ I then asked, ‘Can I drink its milk and give to others?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, you can do so.’ He (the Imam) said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, on seeing people exhausted because of walking would carry them on his budn (plural of badanah).’ He (the Imam) has said when one’s stumper strays or is destroyed and he has one for offering, it is lawful for him to ride it.’”
3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a badanah that gives birth; if it is permissible to milk it. He (the Imam) said, ‘You can milk it without harming its young. You then can slaughter both of them.’ I asked, ‘Can its milk be used for drinking?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, you can do so and give to others.’”
