2ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أُهْدِيَ لَهُ حَمَامٌ أَهْلِيٌّ وَهُوَ فِي الْحَرَمِ فَقَالَ إِنْ هُوَ أَصَابَ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ بِثَمَنِهِ نَحْواً مِمَّا كَانَ يَسْوَى فِي الْقِيمَةِ.

Ali has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who receives a domesticated pigeon as a gift in al-Haram (the sacred area). He (the Imam) said, ‘If he hurts it he must give an amount of charity which is equal to its value.’”
3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُثَنَّى بْنِ عَبْدِ السَّلامِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَكَمِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِغُلامٍ لَنَا هَيِّىْ لَنَا غَدَاءً فَأَخَذَ أَطْيَاراً مِنَ الْحَرَمِ فَذَبَحَهَا وَطَبَخَهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَقَالَ ادْفِنْهَا وَافْدِ كُلَّ طَائِرٍ مِنْهَا.

4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الصَّيْدِ يُصَادُ فِي الْحِلِّ ثُمَّ يُجَاءُ بِهِ إِلَى الْحَرَمِ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَدْخَلَهُ إِلَى الْحَرَمِ حَرُمَ عَلَيْهِ أَكْلُهُ وَإِمْسَاكُهُ فَلا تَشْتَرِيَنَّ فِي الْحَرَمِ إِلاَّ مَذْبُوحاً ذُبِحَ فِي الْحِلِّ ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِهِ إِلَى الْحَرَمِ مَذْبُوحاً فَلا بَأْسَ لِلْحَلالِ.
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a prey which is hunted in non-al-Haram (the sacred area) and is brought in al-Haram (the sacred area) when it is still alive. He (the Imam) said, ‘Since he has brought to al-Haram (the sacred area), it is prohibited for him to use it for food or to keep it. Nothing in al-Haram (the sacred area) can be purchased if it is not slaughtered in non-al- Haram (the sacred area) and then is brought in al-Haram (the sacred area) already slaughtered, in which case it is not harmful.’”
5ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ أَنَّ الْحَكَمَ سَأَلَ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أُهْدِيَ لَهُ حَمَامَةٌ فِي الْحَرَمِ مَقْصُوصَةٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) انْتِفْهَا وَأَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا وَاعْلِفْهَا حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَوَى رِيشُهَا فَخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا.
5. Ali has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa form Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Al-Hakam once asked abu Ja’far ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about a man who receives a pigeon as a gift in al- Haram (the sacred area) with its wings shortened. He (the Imam) said, ‘He takes it, looks after it and feeds it until its wings grow, then sets it free.’”
6ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ مُثَنَّى بْنِ عَبْدِ السَّلامِ عَنْ كَرِبٍ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ قَالَ كُنَّا جَمَاعَةً فَاشْتَرَيْنَا طَيْراً فَقَصَصْنَاهُ وَدَخَلْنَا بِهِ مَكَّةَ فَعَابَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ فَأَرْسَلَ كَرِبٌ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ اسْتَوْدِعُوهُ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ مُسْلِماً أَوِ امْرَأَةً مُسْلِمَةً فَإِذَا اسْتَوَى خَلَّوْا سَبِيلَهُ.

7ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ مَنْ أَصَابَ طَيْراً فِي الْحَرَمِ وَهُوَ مُحِلٌّ فَعَلَيْهِ الْقِيمَةُ وَالْقِيمَةُ دِرْهَمٌ يَشْتَرِي بِهِ عَلَفاً لِحَمَامِ الْحَرَمِ.

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Safwan ibn Yahya who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan al-Rida’ (a.s.), has said, ‘If one hurts a bird in al-Haram (the sacred area) when one is not in the state of ’Ihram, he owes its price. This price is one dirham with which he buys feed for the pigeons of al-Haram (the sacred area).”’
8ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ خَلاَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ ذَبَحَ حَمَامَةً مِنْ حَمَامِ الْحَرَمِ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ الْفِدَاءُ قُلْتُ فَيَأْكُلُهُ قَالَ لا قُلْتُ فَيَطْرَحُهُ قَالَ إِذاً يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ فِدَاءٌ آخَرُ قُلْتُ فَمَا يَصْنَعُ بِهِ قَالَ يَدْفِنُهُ.
8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Khallad who has said the following: “About a man who has slaughtered a pigeon of the pigeons of al-Haram (the sacred area) abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘He owes a ransom.’ I then asked, ‘Can he use it for food?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he cannot do so.’ I then asked, ‘Can he throw it away?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If he did so he will owe another ransom.’ I then asked, ’What then he must do?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He is required to bury it.’”

11ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَصَابَ طَيْراً فِي الْحِلِّ فَاشْتَرَاهُ فَأَدْخَلَهُ الْحَرَمَ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ حِينَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْحَرَمَ خَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ فَمَاتَ فَلا شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَمْسَكَهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ عِنْدَهُ فِي الْحَرَمِ فَعَلَيْهِ الْفِدَاءُ.
11. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub, from ibn Ri’ab from ibn Bukayr who has said the following: “I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah) (a.s.), about a man who finds a bird in non-al-Haram (the sacred area) and buys it, then enters al-Haram (the sacred area), with it and it dies. He (the Imam) said, ‘Were he to release it in al-Haram (the sacred area), then it died he did not owe anything. If he holds it until it dies with him in al-Haram (the sacred area) he is required to pay ransom.’”
