إِنَّمَا اسْتَحْسَنُوا إِشْعَارَ الْبُدْنِ لِأَنَّ أَوَّلَ قَطْرَةٍ تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دَمِهَا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ[2].
"They deemed the marking of the sacrificial animals commendable because with the first drop of its blood that falls, Allah (swt), the Almighty, forgives the one offering it."
وَ رَوَى حَرِيزٌ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ كَانَ النَّاسُ يُقَلِّدُونَ الْغَنَمَ وَ الْبَقَرَ[3] وَ إِنَّمَا تَرَكَهُ النَّاسُ حَدِيثاً وَ يُقَلِّدُونَ بِخَيْطٍ أَوْ بِسَيْرٍ[4].
"People used to adorn sheep and cattle with garlands, but they have recently abandoned this practice. They would garland them with a string or a leather strap."
قَدْ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُ[5] مَا أَكْثَرَ مَا لَا يُقَلَّدُ وَ لَا يُشْعَرُ وَ لَا
Hadith.2572 - Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) regarding a man who drove a sacrificial animal but neither garlanded it nor marked it. Imam (as) said: "It is sufficient for him. Most often, sacrificial animals are neither garlanded, marked, nor adorned."
لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَجُلٌ أَحْرَمَ مِنَ الْوَقْتِ[2] وَ مَضَى ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ اشْتَرَى بَدَنَةً بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِيَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ فَأَشْعَرَهَا وَ قَلَّدَهَا وَ سَاقَهَا فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ ابْتَاعَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْحَرَمَ فَلَا بَأْسَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ اشْتَرَاهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي يُحْرِمُ مِنْهُ فَأَشْعَرَهَا وَ قَلَّدَهَا أَ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ حِينَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مَا يَ
I said to Abu Abdullah (as): "A man enters Ihram from the Miqat and proceeds on his journey. Then, a day or two later, he purchases a sacrificial camel, marks it, garlands it, and drives it forward. What is the ruling?" Imam (as) said: "If he purchased it before entering the Haram, there is no harm." I asked: "What if
أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْبُدْنِ كَيْفَ تُشْعَرُ فَقَالَ تُشْعَرُ وَ هِيَ بَارِكَةٌ مِنْ شَقِّ سَنَامِهَا الْأَيْمَنِ وَ تُنْحَرُ وَ هِيَ قَائِمَةٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأَيْمَنِ.
I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about how camels are marked (Ish'ar). Imam (as) said: "They are marked while sitting, by slitting the right side of their hump, and they are slaughtered while standing, from their right side."
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ تُقَلِّدُهَا[4] نَعْلًا خَلَقاً قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ فِيهَا[5] وَ الْإِشْعَارُ وَ التَّقْلِيدُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ التَّلْبِيَةِ.
Hadith.2575 - In a narration from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, from Abu Abdullah (as), he said: "You garland it with an old sandal that you have prayed in, and both marking (Ish'ar) and garlanding (Taqleed) hold the same status as the Talbiyah."
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهَا تُشْعَرُ وَ هِيَ مَعْقُولَةٌ.
Hadith.2576 - In a narration from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Imam (as): "The camel is marked (Ish'ar) while it is restrained."
وَ رَوَى ابْنُ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ فِي عُمْرَةٍ[6]
"I set out for Umrah and purchased a sacrificial camel while I was in Madinah. I sent a message to Abu Abdullah (as) asking him how I should handle it. Imam (as) sent back a reply: 'What were you going to do with it? It would have sufficed for you to buy one in Arafat.' Then Imam (as) said: 'Go to Masjid al-Shajarah, f
