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 (a.s.), 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.’”
1ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ أَدْنَى مَا يُجْزِئُ مِنْ أَسْنَانِ الْغَنَمِ فِي الْهَدْيِ فَقَالَ الْجَذَعُ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ قُلْتُ فَالْمَعْزُ قَالَ لا يُجْزِئُ الْجَذَعُ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ قُلْتُ وَلِمَ قَالَ لأَنَّ الْجَذَعَ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ يَلْقَحُ وَالْجَذَعُ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ لا يَلْقَحُ.
