[9] Cow and Camel: عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْإِبِلِ وَ الْبَقَرِ أَيُّهُمَا أَفْضَلُ أَنْ يُضَحَّى بِهَا قَالَ ذَوَاتُ الْأَرْحَامِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَسْنَانِهَا فَقَالَ أَمَّا الْبَقَرُ فَلَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّ أَسْنَانِهَا ضَحَّيْتَ وَ أَمَّا الْإِبِلُ فَلَا يَصْلُحُ إِلَّا الثَّنِيُّ فَمَا فَوْقُ Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad from Al Halby who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah -asws about the camel and the cow, which of the two is superior that it should be slaughtered with?’ He -asws said: ‘The one with the womb (ability to give babies)’.
So I asked him -asws about the years (age)’. So he -asws said: ‘As for the cow, so it would not harm you with which of its years you slaughter (which you buy and sell), and as for the camel, so it is not correct unless it is two (years), and what is above’.
[10] عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ أَسْنَانُ الْبَقَرِ تَبِيعُهَا وَ مُسِنُّهَا فِي الذَّبْحِ سَوَاءٌ Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Muhammad Bin Humran, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘The years (age) of the cow you sell these, and their aged ones, with regards to the sacrifice, is the same’.
[11] Animal which becomes ‘thin’ after Purchasing is not Sufficient: عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِذَا اشْتَرَى الرَّجُلُ الْبَدَنَةَ مَهْزُولَةً فَوَجَدَهَا سَمِينَةً فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَتْ عَنْهُ وَ إِنِ اشْتَرَاهَا مَهْزُولَةً فَوَجَدَهَا مَهْزُولَةً فَإِنَّهَا لَا تُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘When the man buys the thin camel, and he finds it to be fat, so it would have sufficed from him; and if he had bought it as thin, and found it as thin, so it would not suffice from him’.
