سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ أَدْنَى مَا يُجْزِئُ مِنْ أَسْنَانِ الْغَنَمِ فِي الْهَدْيِ فَقَالَ الْجَذَعُ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ قُلْتُ فَالْمَعْزُ قَالَ لَا يُجْزِئُ الْجَذَعُ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ قَالَ لِأَنَّ الْجَذَعَ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ يَلْقَحُ وَ الْجَذَعُ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ لَا يَلْقَحُ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from the one who narrated it, from Hammad Bin Usman who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the lowest of what would suffice from the years (age) of the sheep regarding the sacrifice, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The two-year old from the sheep’. I said, ‘So (what about) the goat?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The two year old goat would not suffice’. I said, ‘And why not?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Because the two year old from the sheep can impregnate, but the two year old from the goat cannot impregnate’.
