1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ الْكِنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَكُمْ فِيها مَنافِعُ إِلى‏ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى قَالَ إِنِ احْتَاجَ إِلَى ظَهْرِهَا رَكِبَهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَعْنُفَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنْ كَانَ لَهَا لَبَنٌ حَلَبَهَا حِلاباً لا يَنْهَكُهَا.

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.”

2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِنْ نُتِجَتْ بَدَنَتُكَ فَاحْلُبْهَا مَا لا يُضِرُّ بِوَلَدِهَا ثُمَّ انْحَرْهُمَا جَمِيعاً قُلْتُ أَشْرَبُ مِنْ لَبَنِهَا وَأَسْقِي قَالَ نَعَمْ وَقَالَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى أُنَاساً يَمْشُونَ قَدْ جَهَدَهُمُ الْمَشْيُ حَمَلَهُمْ عَلَى بُدْنِهِ وَقَالَ إِنْ ضَلَّتْ رَاحِلَةُ الرَّجُلِ أَوْ هَلَكَتْ وَمَعَهُ هَدْيٌ فَلْيَرْكَبْ عَلَى هَدْيِهِ.

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.’”

3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْعَلاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْبَدَنَةِ تُنْتَجُ أَ نَحْلُبُهَا قَالَ احْلُبْهَا حَلْباً غَيْرَ مُضِرٍّ بِالْوَلَدِ ثُمَّ انْحَرْهُمَا جَمِيعاً قُلْتُ يَشْرَبُ مِنْ لَبَنِهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ وَيَسْقِي إِنْ شَاءَ.

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.’”
