The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 591 (#Ḥadīth #1)

1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى شَاةً فَأَمْسَكَهَا ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ رَدَّهَا قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي تِلْكَ الثَّلاثَةِ الأيَّامِ يَشْرَبُ لَبَنَهَا رَدَّ مَعَهَا ثَلاثَةَ أَمْدَادٍ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا لَبَنٌ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ مِثْلَهُ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from those whom he has mentioned from abu al-Mighra’ from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “This is about the case of a man who had purchased a sheep and had kept it for three days; then returned it, abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘If during those three days he had consumed its milk he returns it with three handful of food. If the sheep did not have any milk he then does not owe anything.”’ Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy from abu ‘Abd Allah , a similar Hadith.
