The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 1855 (#Ḥadīth #2)

2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِنْ نُتِجَتْ بَدَنَتُكَ فَاحْلُبْهَا مَا لا يُضِرُّ بِوَلَدِهَا ثُمَّ انْحَرْهُمَا جَمِيعاً قُلْتُ أَشْرَبُ مِنْ لَبَنِهَا وَأَسْقِي قَالَ نَعَمْ وَقَالَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى أُنَاساً يَمْشُونَ قَدْ جَهَدَهُمُ الْمَشْيُ حَمَلَهُمْ عَلَى بُدْنِهِ وَقَالَ إِنْ ضَلَّتْ رَاحِلَةُ الرَّجُلِ أَوْ هَلَكَتْ وَمَعَهُ هَدْيٌ فَلْيَرْكَبْ عَلَى هَدْيِهِ.

2. A number of our people have narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Hisham ibn Salim from Sulayman ibn Khalid who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘If a badanah gives birth you can milk it without harming its young. You then can slaughter both of them.’ I then asked, ‘Can I drink its milk and give to others?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, you can do so.’ He (the Imam) said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin , on seeing people exhausted because of walking would carry them on his budn (plural of badanah).’ He (the Imam) has said when one’s stumper strays or is destroyed and he has one for offering, it is lawful for him to ride it.’”
