فِي خَمْسِ قَلَائِصَ شَاةٌ وَ لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ الْخَمْسِ شَيْءٌ وَ فِي عَشْرٍ شَاتَانِ وَ فِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ ثَلَاثُ شِيَاهٍ وَ فِي عِشْرِينَ أَرْبَعٌ وَ فِي خَمْسٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ خَمْسٌ وَ فِي سِتَّةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ بِنْتُ مَخَاضٍ إِلَى خَمْسٍ وَ ثَلَاثِين. وَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا فَرْقٌ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ فَفِيهَا بِنْتُ لَبُونٍ إِلَى خَمْسٍ وَ أَرْبَعِينَ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ فَفِيهَا حِقَّةٌ إِلَى سِتِّينَ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ فَفِيهَا جَذَعَةٌ إِلَى خَمْسٍ وَ سَبْعِينَ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ فَفِيهَا بِنْتَا لَبُونٍ إِلَى تِسْعِينَ فَإِذَا كَثُرَتِ الْإِبِلُ فَفِي كُلِّ خَمْسِينَ حِقَّةٌ .
