Chapter on Marking and Garlanding (sacrificial Animals)
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ فِي عُمْرَةٍ فَاشْتَرَيْتُ بَدَنَةً وَ أَنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِهَا فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ مَا كُنْتَ تَصْنَعُ بِهَذَا فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُجْزِيكَ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ مِنْهُ مِنْ عَرَفَةَ وَ قَالَ «اِنْطَلِقْ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ مَسْجِدَ اَلشَّجَرَةِ فَاسْتَقْبِلْ بِهَا اَلْقِبْلَةَ وَ أَنِخْهَا ثُمَّ اُدْخُلِ اَلْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اُخْرُجْ إِلَيْهَا فَأَشْعِرْهَا فِي اَلْجَانِبِ اَلْأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ قُلْ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ اَللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَ لَكَ اَللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي فَإِذَا عَلَوْتَ اَلْبَيْدَاءَ فَلَبِّ ».
Ibn Faddal narrated from Yunus ibn Ya'qub, who said: "I set out for Umrah and purchased a sacrificial camel while I was in Madinah. I sent a message to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام asking him how I should handle it. Imam عليه السلام sent back a reply: 'What were you going to do with it? It would have sufficed for you to buy one in Arafat.' Then Imam عليه السلام said: 'Go to Masjid al-Shajarah, face it toward the Qiblah, and make it kneel. Then, enter the mosque and pray two units of prayer. After that, come out to the camel, mark it (Ish'ar) on its right side, and say: In the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, from You and for You. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, accept it from me. When you ascend to al-Bayda', recite the Talbiyah.'"
