٣ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الْبَدَنَةِ يُهْدِيهَا الرَّجُلُ فَتُكْسَرُ أَوْ تَهْلِكُ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ هَدْياً مَضْمُوناً فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ مَكَانَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَضْمُوناً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ قُلْتُ أَ وَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from a man who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah , about a man who offers a badanah but it suffers damage or is destroyed. He (the Imam) said, ’If it is a binding obligation, he owes its replacement, otherwise, he is not obligated for anything in this matter.’ I then asked, ‘Can he use it for food?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’”
