رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى هَدْياً فَنَحَرَهُ فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ فَعَرَفَهُ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ بَدَنَتِي ضَلَّتْ مِنِّي بِالْأَمْسِ وَ شَهِدَ لَهُ رَجُلَانِ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ لَحْمُهَا وَ لَا يُجْزِئُ عَنْ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ لِذَلِكَ جَرَتِ السُّنَّةُ بِإِشْعَارِهَا وَ تَقْلِيدِهَا إِذَا عُرِّفَتْ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Jameel, from one of our companions, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>) regarding a man who buys a sacrificial animal and he sacrifices it. So a man passes by and recognises it and he says, ‘This here is my sacrificial animal which had strayed from me yesterday, and two men testify with that. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘For him is its meat, and it would not suffice from any one of the two (as a sacrifice)’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And due to that, the Sunnah flowed with the marking it, and its yoking, when it is recognised’.
