Hadith 7608

عَنِ ابْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِكَعْبٍ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لَهُ بِسَلْعٍ فَعَدَا الذِّئْبُ عَلَى شَاةٍ مِنْ شَاتِهَا فَأَدْرَكَتْهَا الرَّاعِيَةُ فَذَكَّتْهَا بِمَرْوَةٍ فَسَأَلَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِهَا
The son of Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik narrates that the slave-girl of Sayyiduna Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) was grazing his goats at the foot of Mount Sala', when a wolf attacked one of the goats. However, when the shepherdess found the goat alive, she slaughtered it with a stone. When Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted eating it.
