2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ بَدَنَةٌ وَاجِبَةٌ فِي فِدَاءٍ قَالَ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدْ بَدَنَةً فَسَبْعُ شِيَاهٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ صَامَ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً.

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad from Dawud al-Riqqiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a man who owes one badanah as obligatory ransom. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he cannot find one badanah, then it is seven sheep; and if he cannot afford then he must fast for eighteen days.’”
