1. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from those who narrated to him from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman who has said the foiiowing: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the minimum age required for an offering of sheep. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is al-Jadha‘ (young goat or sheep which is in the second year of its life) of sheep.’ I then asked about goat, and he (the Imam) said, ‘Young goat is not sufficient.’ I then asked why young sheep is sufficient and a young goat is not sufficient? He (the Imam) said, ‘It is because al- Jadha’ of sheep is capable of impregnating and that of goat does not have such capability.’”
IsnādAl-Husayn ibn Muhammad a rapporté de Mu'alla ibn Muhammad, de quelqu'un qui lui a rapporté de Hammad ibn 'Uthman, qui a dit: J'ai interrogé Abu 'Abdillah (que la paix soit sur lui) sur la plus petite partie des dents de mouton qui est acceptable comme offrande sacrificielle. Il a répondu: "Le morceau de la cuisse de mouton." J'ai demandé: "Et pour la chèvre ?" Il a dit: "Le morceau de la cuisse de chèvre n'est pas acceptable comme offrande sacrificielle." J'ai demandé: "Pourquoi ?" Il a dit: "Parce que le morceau de la cuisse de mouton se reproduit, tandis que le morceau de la cuisse de chèvre ne se reproduit pas."
