حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ‏:‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا لَيْلَى قَالَ‏:‏ خَرَجَ سَلْمَانُ فَإِذَا عَلَفُ دَابَّتِهِ يَتَسَاقَطُ مِنَ الْآرِيِّ، فَقَالَ لِخَادِمِهِ‏:‏ لَوْلاَ أَنِّي أَخَافُ الْقِصَاصَ لَأَوْجَعْتُكَ‏.‏

  • فَإِذَا عَلَفُ دَابَّتِهِ يَتَسَاقَطُ مِنَ الْآرِيِّ،

    The term al-ārī refers to a tethering or feeding fixture; the precise stable equipment is not described.

    Should the English use a general 'rack/manger' or a transliterated term?
