Bayhaqi Q16121 — The description of the sixty that go with the forty

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَالسِّتُّونَ الَّتِي مَعَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ الْخَلِفَةِ: ثَلَاثُونَ حِقَّةً، وَثَلَاثُونَ جَذَعَةً، وَقَدْ رَوَى هَذَا عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَرَوَاهُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The sixty (camels) that go along with the forty pregnant she-camels will be: thirty hiqqah (three-year-old she-camels) and thirty jadha'ah (four-year-old she-camels)."
He narrated this from some of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them), and in another place he narrated it from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).
