The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 1862 (#Ḥadīth #6)

6ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى هَدْياً لِمُتْعَتِهِ فَأَتَى بِهِ أَهْلَهُ وَرَبَطَهُ ثُمَّ انْحَلَّ وَهَلَكَ هَلْ يُجْزِئُهُ أَوْ يُعِيدُ قَالَ لا يُجْزِئُهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لا قُوَّةَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ.

6. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ibrahim , about a man who buys an offering animal for al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous), al-Hajj. He brings it to his family and ties down for security then releases it and it dies, if it is sufficient or he has to do it again. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not sufficient unless he has no power on it.’”
