Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh

رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا سَاقَ اَلْبَدَنَةَ وَ مَرَّ عَلَى اَلْمُشَاةِ حَمَلَهُمْ عَلَى بَدَنَةٍ وَ إِنْ ضَلَّتْ رَاحِلَةُ رَجُلٍ وَ مَعَهُ بَدَنَةٌ رَكِبَهَا غَيْرَ مُضِرٍّ وَ لاَ مُثْقِلٍ».

Hammad narrated from Hariz that Abu Abdullah (a.s) said: "When Imam Ali (a.s) brought the sacrificial camels, he would let the pedestrians ride on a camel. If a man's riding animal was lost and he had a sacrificial camel, he could ride it, provided he did not harm it or overburden it."

وَ سَأَلَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ أَ يَرْكَبُ هَدْيَهُ إِنِ اِحْتَاجَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «يَرْكَبُهَا غَيْرَ مُجْهِدٍ وَ لاَ مُتْعِبٍ ».

Ya'qub ibn Shu'ayb asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a man—can he ride his hady (sacrificial animal) if he needs to? Imam (a.s) replied: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: 'He may ride it as long as he does not overburden or exhaust it.'"

وَ رَوَى مَنْصُورُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَحْلُبُ اَلْبَدَنَةَ وَ يَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرَ مُضِرٍّ ».

Mansur ibn Hazim narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s), who said: "Imam Ali (a.s) used to milk the sacrificial camel and allow others to ride it, provided it was not harmed."

وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «لَكُمْ فِيهٰا مَنٰافِعُ إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى » قَالَ «إِنِ اِحْتَاجَ إِلَى ظَهْرِهَا رَكِبَهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَعْنُفَ عَلَيْهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَهَا لَبَنٌ حَلَبَهَا حِلاَباً لاَ يَنْهَكُهَا ».

Abu Basir narrated from Imam (a.s) regarding the words of Allah (swt), the Exalted: "For you, there are benefits in them until a specified term" (Surah Al-Hajj 22:33). Imam (a.s) said: "If one needs to use its back, he may ride it without being harsh on it. And if it has milk, he may milk it in a way that does not exhaust it."
