5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ النَّعْجَةُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَمِ الْمَاعِزُ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ الْمَاعِزُ ذَكَراً فَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَاعِزُ أُنْثَى فَالنَّعْجَةُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالْخَصِيُّ يُضَحَّى بِهِ قَالَ لا إِلاَّ أَنْ لا يَكُونَ غَيْرُهُ وَقَالَ يَصْلُحُ الْجَذَعُ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ فَأَمَّا الْمَاعِزُ فَلا يَصْلُحُ قُلْتُ الْخَصِيُّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَمِ النَّعْجَةُ قَالَ الْمَرْضُوضُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ النَّعْجَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ خَصِيّاً فَالنَّعْجَةُ.
5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), if an ewe is preferred by him or a goat. He (the Imam) said, ‘A he-goat but an ewe is more preferred than a she-goat.’ I then asked if a castrated one is acceptable for offering. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it is not acceptable unless no other offering is available.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘A young sheep is acceptable but not a young goat.’ I asked about castrated and ewe. He (the Imam) said, ‘An injured is more preferred than ewe, but if it is a castrated one then an ewe is more preferred.’”
6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِذَا اشْتَرَى الرَّجُلُ الْبَدَنَةَ مَهْزُولَةً فَوَجَدَهَا سَمِينَةً فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَتْ عَنْهُ وَإِنِ اشْتَرَاهَا مَهْزُولَةً فَوَجَدَهَا مَهْزُولَةً فَإِنَّهَا لا تُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ.
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one buys a weak badanah but finds it to be a fat one it is sufficient. However, if he buys a weak one and finds it to be a lean one, it is not sufficient.”
7ـ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ أَبِي حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَكْرَهُ التَّشْرِيمَ فِي الآذَانِ وَالْخَرْمَ وَلا يَرَى بِهِ بَأْساً إِنْ كَانَ ثَقْبٌ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْوَسْمِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ يُجْزِئُ مِنَ الْبُدْنِ الثَّنِيُّ وَمِنَ الْمَعْزِ الثَّنِيُّ وَمِنَ الضَّأْنِ الْجَذَعُ.
7. Humayd ibn Ziyad from ibn Sama‘ah from more than one person from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Salmah abu Hafs who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), disliked cuts and holes in the ears, but he did not mind if the hole was on the mark. He (’Amir al-Mu’minin) would say that of badanah that which is two years old is acceptable, of goat that which is two years old and of sheep the young one is acceptable.’”
8ـ أَبَانٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْكَبْشُ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْجَزُورِ.

9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “This is about a man who buys an offering which is defective such as blindness, and so on. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If he has paid in cash it is sufficient for him. If he has not paid in cash he can return it and buy another.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Buy a fatty male for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous); if you cannot, then find a mawju’ (cow); if you cannot find it then a male goat, if you do not find, then an ewe, if you cannot find then buy what is available for an offering.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘For al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) young sheep is sufficient, a young goat is not sufficient.’ About a man who bought a sheep and wanted to buy one more fat, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘He can buy it but he sells the first one.’ I do not know if he (the Imam) spoke of sheep or cow.”
10ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ (عَلَيْهِم السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) صَدَقَةُ رَغِيفٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ نُسُكٍ مَهْزُولَةٍ.
10.

11. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of an offering with torn ears.

You must maintain greatness for the reminders of Allah, because the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, slaughtered for the mothers of believers, a cow for each one and a badanah.’”
