مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا طَرَفَتِ الْعَيْنُ أَوْ رَكَضَتِ الرِّجْلُ أَوْ تَحَرَّكَ الذَّنَبُ وَ أَدْرَكْتَهُ فَذَكِّهِ .

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ‘Uthman from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sulayman who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that it is in the book of Ali (a.s.), that if the eyes move or the leg runs or the tail moves and you can achieve such opportunity, you then must slaughter it.’”

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سُلَيْمٍ الْفَرَّاءِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذْ جَاءَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَقُولُ لَكَ جَدِّي إِنَّ رَجُلًا ضَرَبَ بَقَرَةً بِفَأْسٍ فَسَقَطَتْ ثُمَّ ذَبَحَهَا فَلَمْ يُرْسِلْ مَعَهُ بِالْجَوَابِ وَ دَعَا سَعِيدَةَ مَوْلَاةَ أُمِّ فَرْوَةَ فَقَالَ لَهَا إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً أَتَانِي بِرِسَالَةٍ مِنْكِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكِ بِالْجَوَابِ مَعَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي ذَبَحَ الْبَقَرَةَ حِينَ ذَبَحَ خَرَجَ الدَّمُ مُعْتَدِلًا فَكُلُوا وَ أَطْعِمُوا وَ إِنْ كَانَ خَرَجَ خُرُوجاً مُتَثَاقِلًا فَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُ .

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Salim al-Farra’ from al-Hassan ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Once I was with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Salam came. I said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause. My grandfather asks you about the case of a man who has hit a cow with a hammer and it has fallen down, then he has slaughtered it.’ He (the Imam) did not send the answer but he (the Imam) called Sa‘idah, a slave-girl of ‘Umm Farwah and said to her, ‘Muhammad came to me with a letter from you but I disliked to send the answer with him. In the case of the man who has slaughtered the cow, when slaughtering if blood has come out normally you can use it for food and feed, but if its coming is heavy, then do not go close to it.’”

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا طَرَفَتِ الْعَيْنُ أَوْ رَكَضَتِ الرِّجْلُ أَوْ تَحَرَّكَ الذَّنَبُ فَكُلْ مِنْهُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ .

3. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from Aban from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu ‘Abd Allah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that it is in the book of Ali (a.s.), that if the eye turns or the leg runs or the tail moves, then slaughtering properly is achieved.’”

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ مُثَنًّى الْحَنَّاطِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِذَا شَكَكْتَ فِي حَيَاةِ شَاةٍ وَ رَأَيْتَهَا تَطْرِفُ عَيْنَهَا أَوْ تُحَرِّكُ أُذُنَيْهَا أَوْ تَمْصَعُ بِذَنَبِهَا فَاذْبَحْهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَكَ حَلَالٌ .

أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الذَّبِيحَةِ فَقَالَ إِذَا تَحَرَّكَ الذَّنَبُ أَوِ الطَّرْفُ أَوِ الْأُذُنُ فَهُوَ ذَكِيٌّ .

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي الشَّاةِ إِذَا طَرَفَتْ عَيْنَهَا أَوْ حَرَّكَتْ ذَنَبَهَا فَهِيَ ذَكِيَّةٌ .
