Chapter on the Rights of the Animal Upon Its Owner
وَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: مَتَى أَضْرِبُ دَابَّتِي تَحْتِي قَالَ «إِذَا لَمْ تَمْشِ تَحْتَكَ كَمَشْيِهَا إِلَى مِذْوَدِهَا».
A man asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "When is it permissible for me to strike the animal I am riding?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "When it does not walk under you as it would walk toward its feeding trough."
