مَهْمَا أُبْهِمَ عَلَى الْبَهَائِمِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَلَا يُبْهَمُ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعَةُ خِصَالٍ مَعْرِفَةُ أَنَّ لَهَا خَالِقاً وَ مَعْرِفَةُ طَلَبِ الرِّزْقِ وَ مَعْرِفَةُ الذَّكَرِ مِنَ الْأُنْثَى وَ مَخَافَةُ الْمَوْتِ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Al Hajjal and Ibn Fazzal, from Yaqoub Bin Salim, from a man, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Whatever dullness of the animals may be from something, but it would not be dull upon four qualities – Recognising that there is a Creator for it, and recognising seeking of the sustenance, and recognising the male from the female, and fear of the death’.
Compiled by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulayni
