كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ مُعَتِّبٌ فَقَالَ بِالْبَابِ رَجُلَانِ فَقَالَ أَدْخِلْهُمَا فَدَخَلَا فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنِّي رَجُلٌ قَصَّابٌ وَ إِنِّي أَبِيعُ الْمُسُوكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ الْغَنَمَ قَالَ لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ وَ لَكِنِ انْسُبْهَا غَنَمَ أَرْضِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا .
Translation
One of our companions, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Abu Makhlad Al Sarraj who said, ‘We were in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so Mo’tab came over to him<sup>asws</sup> and said, ‘There are two men at the door’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Let both of them enter’. So one of the two said, ‘I am a man (who is a) butcher and I sell the milk before I slaughter the sheep’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem with it, but link (mention its lineage of) the sheep with such and such a land’.
