٩ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ مَوْلىً لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الأَوَّلَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) دَعَا بِبَدَنَةٍ فَنَحَرَهَا فَلَمَّا ضَرَبَ الْجَزَّارُونَ عَرَاقِيبَهَا فَوَقَعَتْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَكَشَفُوا شَيْئاً عَنْ سَنَامِهَا قَالَ اقْطَعُوا وَكُلُوا مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُوا فَإِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ فَإِذا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُها فَكُلُوا مِنْها وَأَطْعِمُوا.
9. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Asbat from a slave of abu ‘Abd Allah , who has said the following: “I saw abu al-Hassan, al-Awwal , ask for a badanah and he slaughtered it. When the butchers cut off its veins and it fell on the ground and they uncovered its hump he (the Imam) told them to get something thereof and eat; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, ‘When their sides reach the ground eat and feed thereof.’”
