9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following
“This is about a man who buys an offering which is defective such as blindness, and so on. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If he has paid in cash it is sufficient for him. If he has not paid in cash he can return it and buy another.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Buy a fatty male for al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous); if you cannot, then find a mawju’ (cow); if you cannot find it then a male goat, if you do not find, then an ewe, if you cannot find then buy what is available for an offering.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘For al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) young sheep is sufficient, a young goat is not sufficient.’ About a man who bought a sheep and wanted to buy one more fat, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘He can buy it but he sells the first one.’ I do not know if he (the Imam) spoke of sheep or cow.”
9ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم)
فِي رَجُلٍ يَشْتَرِي هَدْياً وَكَانَ بِهِ عَيْبٌ عَوَرٌ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ نَقَدَ ثَمَنَهُ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَقَدَ ثَمَنَهُ رَدَّهُ وَاشْتَرَى غَيْرَهُ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) اشْتَرِ فَحْلاً سَمِيناً لِلْمُتْعَةِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ فَمَوْجُوءاً فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ فَمِنْ فُحُولَةِ الْمَعْزِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ فَنَعْجَةً فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ قَالَ وَيُجْزِئُ فِي الْمُتْعَةِ الْجَذَعُ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ وَلا يُجْزِئُ جَذَعُ الْمَعْزِ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى شَاةً ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ أَسْمَنَ مِنْهَا قَالَ يَشْتَرِيهَا فَإِذَا اشْتَرَاهَا بَاعَ الأُولَى قَالَ وَلا أَدْرِي شَاةً قَالَ أَوْ بَقَرَةً.
