٣ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَبْعَثُ بِالْهَدْيِ تَطَوُّعاً لَيْسَ بِوَاجِبٍ قَالَ يُوَاعِدُ أَصْحَابَهُ يَوْماً فَيُقَلِّدُونَهُ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةُ اجْتَنَبَ عَمَّا يَجْتَنِبُ الْمُحْرِمُ إِلَى يَوْمِ النَّحْرِ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُ.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Am mar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a man who, optionally, not obligatory, sends an offering animal (to be offered as sacrifice) with other people. He (the Imam) said, ‘He sets up with his friends a day. They tag the offering animal. When that hour comes he stays away from things that are not lawful in the state of Ihram up to the tenth day of Dhu al-Hajjah. When it is the tenth day, his offering is considered sufficient.’”
