4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَمَّنْ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي مُحْرِمٍ قَلَّمَ ظُفُراً قَالَ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِكَفٍّ مِنْ طَعَامٍ قَالَ ظُفُرَيْنِ قَالَ كَفَّيْنِ قُلْتُ ثَلاثَةً قَالَ ثَلاثَةِ أَكُفٍّ قُلْتُ أَرْبَعَةً قَالَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَكُفٍّ قُلْتُ خَمْسَةً قَالَ عَلَيْهِ دَمٌ يُهَرِيقُهُ فَإِنْ قَصَّ عَشَرَةً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ دَمٌ يُهَرِيقُهُ.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from those who narrated to him who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far , about a man who in the state of Ihram cuts his nails. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must give one handfuls (one meal) of food as charity, two handfuls of food for cutting two nails, three handful of food for cutting three nails, four handfuls of food for cutting four nails, and one animal to be slaughtered as offering for cutting five nails. If one cuts ten or more nails he is required to offer only one animal as offering.’”
