Al-Kafi 13734

Translation

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Salih Bin Abu Hammad, from one of his companions, from Yunus, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, and Al-Husayn Bin Khalid, from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^asws, and Sabbah Al-Haza’a, from Is’haq Bin Ammar from Abu Ibrahim^asws (7^th Imam ^asws), regarding the man who went to the animal. So they^asws all said: ‘If the animal belonged to the doer, it would be slaughtered. So when it is dead, it would be burnt with the fire and would not be benefited by (its flesh and milk), and he would be whipped with twenty five lashes, a quarter of the (complete) Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) of the adultery. And if the animal did not belong to him, it would be evaluated, and its price would be taken from him, and it would be handed over to the owner, and it (the animal) would be slaughtered and burnt by the fire, and it would not be benefited with, and he would be whipped twenty five lashes’. So I said, ‘And what is the sin of the animal?’ So he^asws said: ‘There is no sin for it, but Rasool-Allah^saww did this, and ordered with it, perhaps the people would be doing this with the animal and the lineages would be cut off’.
