Sahih al-Bukhari 5505
Narrated Mu`adh bin Sa`d or Sa`d bin Mu`adh:
A slave girl belonging to Ka`b used to graze some sheep at Sl’a (mountain). Once one of her sheep
was dying. She reached it (before it died) and slaughtered it with a stone. The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked, and
he said, “Eat it.”
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ـ أَوْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا بِسَلْعٍ، فَأُصِيبَتْ شَاةٌ مِنْهَا، فَأَدْرَكَتْهَا فَذَبَحَتْهَا بِحَجَرٍ، فَسُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ” كُلُوهَا ”.
