Al-Kafi 7842

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, regarding a man who buys a sacrificial animal and there was a fault with it, blinded in one eye or something else. So he^asws said: ‘If he has paid cash for it, it would suffice him, and if he did not happen to have paid cash for it, he should return it and buy other than it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘Buy a fat male (animal) for the Tumatto. So if you cannot find, then a cow. So if you cannot find it, then from the virile goats. So if you cannot find, so an ewe. So if you cannot find it, then whatever is easier from the sacrificial animals’. He^asws said: ‘And it would suffice regarding the Tumatto, the two year old from the sheep, and it would not suffice, the two year old from the goat’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Abdullah^asws said regarding a man who bought a sheep, then intended that he buys a fat one from it. He^asws said: ‘So when he buys it, he should sell the first one’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I don’t know (whether he^asws meant the sheep or the goat)’.
