وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ هَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَمَسَّ اَلثَّعْلَبَ وَ اَلْأَرْنَبَ أَوْ شَيْئاً مِنَ اَلسِّبَاعِ حَيّاً أَوْ مَيِّتاً قَالَ« لاَ يَضُرُّهُ وَ لَكِنْ يَغْسِلُ يَدَهُ».
With this chain of transmission, from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Isa, from Yunus ibn Abd Al-Rahman, from some of our companions, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام. He said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام: "Is it permissible to touch a fox, a hare, or any wild animal, whether it is alive or dead?" Imam عليه السلام said: "It does not harm him, but he should wash his hand."
