مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سُلَيْمٍ الْفَرَّاءِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذْ جَاءَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَقُولُ لَكَ جَدِّي إِنَّ رَجُلًا ضَرَبَ بَقَرَةً بِفَأْسٍ فَسَقَطَتْ ثُمَّ ذَبَحَهَا فَلَمْ يُرْسِلْ مَعَهُ بِالْجَوَابِ وَ دَعَا سَعِيدَةَ مَوْلَاةَ أُمِّ فَرْوَةَ فَقَالَ لَهَا إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً أَتَانِي بِرِسَالَةٍ مِنْكِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكِ بِالْجَوَابِ مَعَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي ذَبَحَ الْبَقَرَةَ حِينَ ذَبَحَ خَرَجَ الدَّمُ مُعْتَدِلًا فَكُلُوا وَ أَطْعِمُوا وَ إِنْ كَانَ خَرَجَ خُرُوجاً مُتَثَاقِلًا فَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُ .
2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Salim al-Farra’ from al-Hassan ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Once I was with abu ‘Abd Allah , when Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Salam came. I said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause. My grandfather asks you about the case of a man who has hit a cow with a hammer and it has fallen down, then he has slaughtered it.’ He (the Imam) did not send the answer but he (the Imam) called Sa‘idah, a slave-girl of ‘Umm Farwah and said to her, ‘Muhammad came to me with a letter from you but I disliked to send the answer with him. In the case of the man who has slaughtered the cow, when slaughtering if blood has come out normally you can use it for food and feed, but if its coming is heavy, then do not go close to it.’”
