12. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Shammun from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd al- Rahman from Misma‘ who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has stated this Hadith. ’Amir al-Mu’minin has said, ‘The milk and flesh of a camel that feeds on feces are not edible until it feeds on clean feed for forty days, such a cow for thirty days, such a sheep for ten days, such a duck for five days and such a chicken must be kept in quarantine for three days.’”
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ
قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) النَّاقَةُ الْجَلَّالَةُ لَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهَا وَ لَا يُشْرَبُ لَبَنُهَا حَتَّى تُغَذَّى أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً وَ الْبَقَرَةُ الْجَلَّالَةُ لَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهَا وَ لَا يُشْرَبُ لَبَنُهَا حَتَّى تُغَذَّى ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْماً وَ الشَّاةُ الْجَلَّالَةُ لَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهَا وَ لَا يُشْرَبُ لَبَنُهَا حَتَّى تُغَذَّى عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَ الْبَطَّةُ الْجَلَّالَةُ لَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهَا حَتَّى تُرْبَطَ خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَ الدَّجَاجَةُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ .
