3. Aban has narrated from Ibrahim ibn abu ‘Abd Allah and Zurarah who have said the following: “We once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about al-Budn (camel), how to mark it, when the owner is required to assume the state of Ihram, which side is marked and is it slaughtered tied down or knelt down. He (the Imam) said, ‘Slaughter it tied down and mark it on its right side.’”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Najran from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about al-Budn, how it is marked. He (the Imam) said, ‘Mark it when tied down and slaughter it when it is standing. Mark it on its right side and its owner assumes the state of Ihram when something is placed around its neck or is marked.’”

5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When there are many al-Budn, one stands in between the two, then marks on the right and then on the left. Never mark before you are ready to assume the state of Ihram because when it is decorated, something placed around its neck or marked, assuming the state of Ihram becomes obligatory upon you and it is like Talbiyah.’”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Al-Bun is marked on its right side and the man stands on the left, then places something around its neck like an old shoe with which one has performed Salat (prayer).”’
