قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ كَانَ عِنْدِي كَبْشٌ سَمِينٌ لِأُضَحِّيَ بِهِ فَلَمَّا أَخَذْتُهُ وَ أَضْجَعْتُهُ نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَرَحِمْتُهُ وَ رَقَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِنِّي ذَبَحْتُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي مَا كُنْتُ أُحِبُّ لَكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ لَا تُرَبِّيَنَّ شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذَا ثُمَّ تَذْبَحُهُ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
20. Muhammad ibn Yahya and others have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from Yahya ibn al-Mubarak from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl who has said the following: “I once said to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I had a healthy sheep for offering as a sacrifice. When I placed it on the ground to slaughter, it looked at me and it moved me emotionally but I slaughtered it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘I would not have liked for you to do that. Do not bring up something like that to slaughter afterwards.’”
