اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ مَعَهُ بِهَدْيٍ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنْ عَطِبَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَانْحَرْهُ ، ثُمَّ اصْبُغْ نَعْلَهُ فِي دَمِهِ ، ثُمَّ خَلِّ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ " .
Narrated Najiyah al-Aslami: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent sacrificial camels with him (as offering to the Kabah). He then said: If any one of them becomes fatigued, slaughter it, dip its shoes in its blood, and leave it for the people (to eat).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
From this hadith, it is understood that if an animal is about to die, it should be slaughtered so that people can benefit from its meat, and this is general. However, if an animal has been specifically designated for Hady (sacrificial offering) and is being taken towards the House of Allah (Baytullah), and that animal is about to die due to illness or some other reason, then it should be slaughtered, its feet should be smeared with blood, and a mark of blood should be placed on its side. Nothing from the meat of this animal should be eaten by oneself, but the people of that locality and city may eat from it.
