سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ ادْفَعْ إِلَيَّ غَنَمَكَ وَ إِبِلَكَ تَكُونُ مَعِي فَإِذَا وَلَدَتْ أَبْدَلْتُ لَكَ إِنْ شِئْتَ إِنَاثَهَا بِذُكُورِهَا أَوْ ذُكُورَهَا بِإِنَاثِهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ فِعْلٌ مَكْرُوهٌ إِلَّا أَنْ يُبْدِلَهَا بَعْدَ مَا تُولَدُ وَ يُعَرِّفَهَا .
Translation
Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad, from Ja’far Bin Sama’at, from Aban Bin Usman, from Ismail Bin Al Fazl who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who said to a man, ‘Hand over to me your sheep and your camel to be with me. So if they give birth, I shall exchange for you, if you so desire to, its female with its male or its male with its female’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘That is an abhorrent act, except if he were to exchange after what has been born and he recognises it’.
