رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «مَا بُهِمَتِ اَلْبَهَائِمُ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ تُبْهَمْ عَنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مَعْرِفَتِهَا بِالرَّبِّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ مَعْرِفَتِهَا بِالْمَوْتِ وَ مَعْرِفَتِهَا بِالْأُنْثَى مِنَ اَلذَّكَرِ وَ مَعْرِفَتِهَا بِالْمَرْعَى اَلْخِصْبِ».
Ali ibn Ri'ab narrated from Abu Hamzah, from Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn عليه السلام, that he used to say: "Animals are not ignorant of four things: their knowledge of their Lord عز وجل, the Blessed and Exalted; their knowledge of death; their distinction between male and female; and their knowledge of fertile pasture."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ أَمَّا اَلْخَبَرُ اَلَّذِي رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَوْ عَرَفَتِ اَلْبَهَائِمُ مِنَ اَلْمَوْتِ مَا تَعْرِفُونَ مَا أَكَلْتُمْ مِنْهَا سَمِيناً قَطُّ».
As for the narration from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام in which he said: "If animals knew about death what you know, you would never eat a fat one among them."
