5ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِذَا كَانَتِ الْبُدْنُ كَثِيرَةً قَامَ فِيمَا بَيْنَ ثِنْتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَشْعَرَ الْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ الْيُسْرَى وَلا يُشْعِرُ أَبَداً حَتَّى يَتَهَيَّأَ لِلإِحْرَامِ لأَنَّهُ إِذَا أَشْعَرَ وَقَلَّدَ وَجَلَّلَ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الإِحْرَامُ وَهِيَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ التَّلْبِيَةِ.
5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘When there are many al-Budn, one stands in between the two, then marks on the right and then on the left. Never mark before you are ready to assume the state of Ihram because when it is decorated, something placed around its neck or marked, assuming the state of Ihram becomes obligatory upon you and it is like Talbiyah.’”
