مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« إِذَا مَاتَ اَلْكَلْبُ فِي اَلْبِئْرِ نُزِحَتْ» قَالَ وَ قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« إِذَا وَقَعَ فِيهَا ثُمَّ أُخْرِجَ مِنْهَا حَيّاً نُزِحَ مِنْهَا سَبْعُ دِلاَءٍ».
Narrated by Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from al-‘Abbas ibn Ma‘ruf, from Abdullah ibn al-Mughira, from Abu Maryam, who reported that Ja‘far said:
Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام used to say: "If a dog dies in a well, the well should be emptied." Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام also said: "If it falls in and is taken out alive, seven buckets should be drawn from it."
