Hadith.2372 - Abdul Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj narrated:
"
I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about two young birds dressed in feathers that I slaughtered while I was in Mecca.
Imam (as) said to me: 'Why did you slaughter them?'
I replied: 'A girl from the people of Mecca brought them to me and asked me to slaughter them, and I thought I was in Kufa and did not recall the sanctity of the Haram.'
Imam (as) said: 'Give charity equivalent to their value.'
I asked: 'How much?'
Imam (as) said: 'A dirham, which is better than them.'"
2372 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ فَرْخَيْنِ مُسَرْوَلَيْنِ ذَبَحْتُهُمَا وَ أَنَا بِمَكَّةَ فَقَالَ لِي «لِمَ ذَبَحْتَهُمَا» فَقُلْتُ جَاءَتْنِي بِهِمَا جَارِيَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَسَأَلَتْنِي أَنْ أَذْبَحَهُمَا فَظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي بِالْكُوفَةِ وَ لَمْ أَذْكُرِ اَلْحَرَمَ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقْ بِقِيمَتِهِمَا» قُلْتُ كَمْ قَالَ «دِرْهَماً وَ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمَا».
