سَأَلَنِي بَعْضُ الْخَوَارِجِ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ اثْنَيْنِ قُلْ آلذَّكَرَيْنِ حَرَّمَ أَمِ الْأُنْثَيَيْنِ وَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ اثْنَيْنِ وَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ اثْنَيْنِ مَا الَّذِي أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ مَا الَّذِي حَرَّمَ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا حَاجٌّ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا كَانَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَحَلَّ فِي الْأُضْحِيَّةِ بِمِنًى الضَّأْنَ وَ الْمَعْزَ الْأَهْلِيَّةَ وَ حَرَّمَ أَنْ يُضَحَّى بِالْجَبَلِيَّةِ وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ وَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ اثْنَيْنِ وَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ اثْنَيْنِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَحَلَّ فِي الْأُضْحِيَّةِ الْإِبِلَ الْعِرَابَ وَ حَرَّمَ فِيهَا الْبَخَاتِيَّ وَ أَحَلَّ الْبَقَرَ الْأَهْلِيَّةَ أَنْ يُضَحَّى بِهَا وَ حَرَّمَ الْجَبَلِيَّةَ فَانْصَرَفْتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِهَذَا الْجَوَابِ فَقَالَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ حَمَلَتْهُ الْإِبِلُ مِنَ الْحِجَازِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad, from Al Sulamy, from Dawood Al Raqqy who said, ‘One of the Khawarijites asked me about these Verses <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:6#h143"><a href="/books/quran:6#h143">[6:143]</a></a> two of sheep and two of goats. Say: Has He forbidden the two males or the two females <a href="/#/books/quran:6#h144"><a href="/books/quran:6#h144">[6:144]</a></a> And two of camels and two of cows</span> – what is that which Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Permitted from that, and what is that which He<sup>azwj</sup> has Prohibited?’ But, I did not have anything with me (to answer him with)’. So I went over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and I was a pilgrim for Hajj. So I informed him<sup>asws</sup> with what (the matter) was, and he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Permitted regarding the sacrificial offering in Mina, the sheep, and the domesticated goat, and Prohibited that you sacrifice the mountain (goats). And as for His<sup>azwj</sup> Words <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:6#h144"><a href="/books/quran:6#h144">[6:144]</a></a> And two of camels and two of cows</span>, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Permitted regarding the sacrificial offering, the Iraab camel, and Prohibited the Bukhaty; and Permitted the domesticated cow that you offer a sacrifice with it, and Prohibited the wild ones’. So I left to go to the man, and informed him with this answer. So he said, ‘This is something which the camels carried from Al-Hijaaz (meaning - this is not your answer, but it comes from Al-Hijaaz)’.
