١٦ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّ أَخاً لِي اشْتَرَى حَمَاماً مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَذَهَبْنَا بِهَا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَاعْتَمَرْنَا وَأَقَمْنَا إِلَى الْحَجِّ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجْنَا الْحَمَامَ مَعَنَا مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ فَعَلَيْنَا فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ قَالَ لِلرَّسُولِ إِنِّي أَظُنُّهُنَّ كُنَّ فُرْهَةً قَالَ لَهُ يَذْبَحُ مَكَانَ كُلِّ طَيْرٍ شَاةً.
16. Ahmad ibn Muhammad from has narrated from ibn Faddal from Yunus ibn Ya’qub who has said the following: “I once sent a message to abu al-Hassan , that my brother had purchased pigeons from al-Madinah and we went to Makkah for ‘Umrah. We stayed for Hajj, then we took the pigeon with us from Makkah to al-Kufah; if we owe anything. He (the Imam) said to the messenger, ‘I think they were beautiful.’ He (the Imam) said to him, ‘For every one of them one sheep must be slaughtered.’”
