Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 3|Chapter 97
8ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِنَّ الْقُرَادَ لَيْسَ مِنَ الْبَعِيرِ وَالْحَلَمَةُ مِنَ الْبَعِيرِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْقَمْلَةِ مِنْ جَسَدِكَ فَلا تُلْقِهَا وَأَلْقِ الْقُرَادَ.
8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Ticks are not from the camel. Al-Halamah is from the camel like lice are from your body, so do not throw them away; but throw away ticks.”’
