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.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (18/167))
