There were two pairs from the sheep – a pair of domesticate sheep raised by the people, ad another pair of sheep which happens to be in the mountains, the wild. It was Permitted for them to hunt these. And from the goats, there were two pairs – a domesticated pair raised by the people, and another pair of antelopes which tend to be in the wilderness. And from the camels there were two – Al-Bukhaty and the Arabian. And from the cows there were two – a pair of domesticated ones for the people, and another pair of wild cows, and every bird, good and wild, and comforting. Then the land drowned’’. [83]
