Al-Kafi 5846

Translation

Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘Is there anything upon the mules?’ So he^asws said: ‘No’. So I said, ‘So how come it came to be upon the cavalry horse and did not come to be upon the mule?’ So he^asws said: ‘Because the mules do not reproduce, and the cavalry female horses do, and there is nothing upon the male cavalry horses’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I said, ‘So what is regarding the donkeys?’ So he^asws said: ‘There is nothing with regards to them’. I said, ‘Is there anything upon the horse, or the camel which the man happens to be riding upon?’ So he^asws said: ‘No, there is nothing upon what one feeds. But rather, the charity (<span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>) is upon the grazing ones sent in its pasture during its year which the man acquired. But, as for what is besides that, so there is nothing with regards to it’.
