7. Humayd ibn Ziyad from ibn Sama‘ah from more than one person from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Salmah abu Hafs who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin عليه السلام, disliked cuts and holes in the ears, but he did not mind if the hole was on the mark. He (’Amir al-Mu’minin) would say that of badanah that which is two years old is acceptable, of goat that which is two years old and of sheep the young one is acceptable.’”
