Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yusuf Bin Aqeel, from Muhammad Bin Qays, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘There is no goodness in the dogs except for the hunting dog, or a walking dog’.

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Al Kahily who said, ‘One day a man asked Abu Abd Allah -asws and I was in his -asws presence about cutting off the tails of the sheep. So he -asws said: ‘There is no problem with cutting it when it corrects with it’. Then he -asws said: ‘In the Book of Ali -asws is: ‘Whatever is cut-off from it is dead, do not benefit by it’.

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan -asws , so I said to him -asws , ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! The people of the mountains, the tails of the sheep get heavy in their presence so they are cutting these off’. So he -asws said: ‘It is Prohibited’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! We are lighting the fires with these’.
