It Is Forbidden To Hurt A Mu'min - Goat

Imam Jafar SAdiq (AS) - Goat event (P 81 12/3)

It Is Forbidden to Hurt a Mu'min
Husayn Ibn Abi al-A’laa narrates, I started out for Makkah in the company of twenty other persons. At every resting place, I would slaughter a goat, in order to provide the people with food. When I arrived in the presence of Imam Al-Sadiq (‘a), he said to me: “O’ Husayn! Woe be unto you that you hurt and cause inconvenience to the Mu'mineen.”
“I seek refuge in God from such an act,” I said.
He explained, “I have been informed that at every resting-place you used to slaughter a goat for your companions.”
“Yes, but By God, it was only for His happiness that I acted in this manner”.
The Imam (‘a) continued, “Don’t you realize that amongst the group there were some, who desired to possess wealth so they too could perform good deeds like you, but not having the means, they have become upset.”
“I repent over my actions and resolve never to act in that way again,” I said.
The Imam (‘a) advised, “A Mu'min, in the eyes of God, is more honorable than the angels, the mountains, the seven skies, the seven earths and everything that exists in them.”
