7ـ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ أَبِي حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَكْرَهُ التَّشْرِيمَ فِي الآذَانِ وَالْخَرْمَ وَلا يَرَى بِهِ بَأْساً إِنْ كَانَ ثَقْبٌ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْوَسْمِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ يُجْزِئُ مِنَ الْبُدْنِ الثَّنِيُّ وَمِنَ الْمَعْزِ الثَّنِيُّ وَمِنَ الضَّأْنِ الْجَذَعُ.

7. Humayd ibn Ziyad from ibn Sama‘ah from more than one person from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Salmah abu Hafs who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin , disliked cuts and holes in the ears, but he did not mind if the hole was on the mark. He (’Amir al-Mu’minin) would say that of badanah that which is two years old is acceptable, of goat that which is two years old and of sheep the young one is acceptable.’”
