6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله قَالَ الْبُدْنُ تُشْعَرُ مِنَ الْجَانِبِ الأَيْمَنِ وَيَقُومُ الرَّجُلُ فِي جَانِبِ الأَيْسَرِ ثُمَّ يُقَلِّدُهَا بِنَعْلٍ خَلَقٍ قَدْ صَلَّى فِيهَا.
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Al-Bun is marked on its right side and the man stands on the left, then places something around its neck like an old shoe with which one has performed Salat (prayer).”’
