١١ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَصَابَ بَيْضَ نَعَامَةٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ قَالَ يُرْسِلُ الْفَحْلَ فِي الإِبِلِ عَلَى عَدَدِ الْبَيْضِ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ الْبَيْضَ يَفْسُدُ كُلُّهُ وَيَصْلُحُ كُلُّهُ قَالَ مَا يُنْتَجُ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ فَهُوَ هَدْيٌ بَالِغُ الْكَعْبَةِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُنْتَجْ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ إِبِلاً فَعَلَيْهِ لِكُلِّ بَيْضَةٍ شَاةٌ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَالصَّدَقَةُ عَلَى عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ مُدٌّ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ.
11. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a man who is involved in hunting matters of the egg of ostrich while in the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must send male camel on female camel equal to the number of eggs affected.’ I then said, ‘Eggs may all become spoiled or all of them may hatch.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Whatever the product is, as offering it must reach al- Ka‘bah; and if there is no product one does not owe anything. If one cannot find camels, then for every egg he must pay one sheep; and if one cannot find this also, then one must give charity to ten destitute people, one mud (a certain measurement) to each one and if one cannot afford this also then must fast three days.’”
