عَزَّتِ الْبُدْنُ سَنَةً بِمِنًى حَتَّى بَلَغَتِ الْبَدَنَةُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَسُئِلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ اشْتَرِكُوا فِيهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ كَمْ قَالَ مَا خَفَّ هُوَ أَفْضَلُ قُلْتُ عَنْ كَمْ تُجْزِئُ قَالَ عَنْ سَبْعِينَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Humran who said, ‘He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The sacricifial animals became too expensive in Mina one year, to the extent that the camel reached one hundred Dinars. So Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> was asked about that, and he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Participate in it’. I said, ‘How many?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whatever is lighter, so it is superior’. I said, ‘On behalf of how may would it suffice?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘On behalf of seventy’.
