بَابُ إِذَا أَبْصَرَ الرَّاعِي أَوِ الْوَكِيلُ شَاةً تَمُوتُ أَوْ شَيْئًا يَفْسُدُ ذَبَحَ وَأَصْلَحَ مَا يَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ الْفَسَادَ:
(4) Chapter. If a shepherd or a deputy saw dying sheep or something which is going to be spoiled, he is allowed to slaughter the sheep and save the thing liable to be spoiled.
Hadith 2304
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، سَمِعَ الْمُعْتَمِرَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ : " أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ غَنَمٌ تَرْعَى بِسَلْعٍ ، فَأَبْصَرَتْ جَارِيَةٌ لَنَا بِشَاةٍ مِنْ غَنَمِنَا مَوْتًا ، فَكَسَرَتْ حَجَرًا فَذَبَحَتْهَا بِهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : لَا تَأْكُلُوا حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَوْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ يَسْأَلُهُ ، وَأَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَاكَ أَوْ أَرْسَلَ ، فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِهَا " ، قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ : فَيُعْجِبُنِي أَنَّهَا أَمَةٌ ، وَأَنَّهَا ذَبَحَتْ ، تَابَعَهُ عَبْدَةُ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ .
Narrated Ibn Ka`b bin Malik from his father: We had some sheep which used to graze at Sala'. One of our slavegirls saw a sheep dying and she broke a stone and slaughtered the sheep with it. My father said to the people, "Don't eat it till I ask the Prophet about it (or till I send somebody to ask the Prophet)." So, he asked or sent somebody to ask the Prophet, and the Prophet permitted him to eat it. 'Ubaidullah (a sub-narrator) said, "I admire that girl, for though she was a slave-girl, she dared to slaughter the sheep . "
