Things, Which Can Be Killed, and the Obligatory Expiation for It

7ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَسَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ الْيَرْبُوعُ وَالْقُنْفُذُ وَالضَّبُّ إِذَا أَمَاتَهُ الْمُحْرِمُ فِيهِ جَدْيٌ وَالْجَدْيُ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ وَإِنَّمَا قُلْتُ هَذَا كَيْ يَنْكُلَ عَنْ صَيْدِ غَيْرِهَا.
7. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from and Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab from Misma’ who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘If one in the state of Ihram kills a Jerboa, hedgehog or a lizard, one must offer a goat, although a goat is much better than any of these but I say it, because such penalty stops one from hunting others.’”
