Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about a man who has with him a voluntary sacrificial animal (hady), and it is about to perish before it reaches its place (the Haram). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He should slaughter it, then smear its sandal (the garland) with its blood, then strike its side with it. Then, if he eats from it, he must make it up."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain; Muhammad bin Khalid al-Wasiti is alone in narrating it."
