سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ مُتَمَتِّعٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ ثَمَنُ هَدْيٍ وَ هُوَ يَجِدُ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ الَّذِي مَعَهُ هَدْياً فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَتَوَانَى وَ يُؤَخِّرُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ آخِرُ النَّهَارِ غَلَتِ الْغَنَمُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ بِالَّذِي مَعَهُ هَدْياً قَالَ يَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Yahya Al Azraq who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about the performer of <span class="iTxt">Tumatto</span> who had the price of the ‘هَدْيٌ’ (Hadayy - thesacrificial animal) with him and he could have found a sacrificial animal with the likes of what was with him. But he did not cease to hesitate and delay that until when it was the end of the day, the sheep became expensive, so he was not able upon buying a sacrificial animal by that which was with him. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should Fast the three days after the days of Al-Tashreek’.
