٥ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَلاَّدٍ الْحَنَّاطِ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا سِتَّةَ نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَأَوْقَدْنَا نَاراً عَظِيمَةً فِي بَعْضِ الْمَنَازِلِ أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَطْرَحَ عَلَيْهَا لَحْماً ذَكِيّاً وَكُنَّا مُحْرِمِينَ فَمَرَّ بِنَا طَائِرٌ صَافٌّ قَالَ حَمَامَةٌ أَوْ شِبْهُهَا فَأَحْرَقَتْ جَنَاحَهُ فَسَقَطَ فِي النَّارِ فَمَاتَ فَاغْتَمَمْنَا لِذَلِكَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) بِمَكَّةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ وَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِدَاءٌ وَاحِدٌ دَمُ شَاةٍ تَشْتَرِكُونَ فِيهِ جَمِيعاً لأَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى غَيْرِ تَعَمُّدٍ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ تَعَمُّداً لِيَقَعَ فِيهَا الصَّيْدُ فَوَقَعَ أَلْزَمْتُ كُلَّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ دَمَ شَاةٍ قَالَ أَبُو وَلاَّدٍ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ نَدْخُلَ الْحَرَمَ.
5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from abu Wallad al-Hannat who has said the following: “In a group one year we went for Makkah and on the way, once we started a large fire to cook a certain amount of meat, while we were in the state of Ihram; and a bird like a pigeon flapping its wings, flew by and hit the fire. Its wings burnt and it died. We became depressed. I then went to see abu ‘Abd Allah , in Makkah, informed him about it and asked about the applicable rule. He (the Imam) said, ‘All of you owe only one sheep as partners because it was without your intentions. Had it been intentional on your part and a prey had fallen in it each one of you would have owed one sheep.’ Abu Wallad has said that it happened before we entered al-Haram (the sacred area).”’
