Hadith 1325
حدثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ الضُّبَعِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْهُذَلِيُّ ، قَالَ : انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا ، وَسِنَانُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ مُعْتَمِرَيْنِ ، قَالَ : وَانْطَلَقَ سِنَانٌ مَعَهُ بِبَدَنَةٍ يَسُوقُهَا ، فَأَزْحَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ بِالطَّرِيقِ فَعَيِيَ بِشَأْنِهَا إِنْ هِيَ أُبْدِعَتْ كَيْفَ يَأْتِي بِهَا ، فقَالَ : لَئِنْ قَدِمْتُ الْبَلَدَ لَأَسْتَحْفِيَنَّ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَأَضْحَيْتُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلْنَا الْبَطْحَاءَ ، قَالَ : انْطَلِقْ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، نَتَحَدَّثْ إِلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَذَكَرَ لَهُ شَأْنَ بَدَنَتِهِ ، فقَالَ : عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطْتَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسِتَّ عَشْرَةَ بَدَنَةً مَعَ رَجُلٍ وَأَمَّرَهُ فِيهَا ، قَالَ : فَمَضَى ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ ، فقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِمَا أُبْدِعَ عَلَيَّ مِنْهَا ؟ قَالَ : " انْحَرْهَا ، ثُمَّ اصْبُغْ نَعْلَيْهَا فِي دَمِهَا ، ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا ، وَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ " ،
Musa bin Salama al-Hudhali reported: I and Sinan bin Salama proceeded to Makkah to perform 'Umrah. Sinan had a sacrificial camel with him which he was driving. The camel stopped in the way being completely exhausted and this state of it made him (Sinan) helpless. (He thought) if it stops proceeding further how he would be able to take it, along with him and said: I would definitely find out (the religious verdict) about it. I moved on in the morning and as we encamped at al-Batha', (Sinan) said: Come (along with me) to Ibn 'Abbas (RA) so that we should narrate to him (this incident), and he (Sinan) reported to him the incident of the sacrificial camel. He ( Ibn Abbas (RA) ) said: You have referred (the matter) to the well informed person. (Now listen) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent sixteen sacrificial camels with a man whom he put in charge of them. He set out and came back and said: Messenger of Allah, what should I do with those who are completely exhausted and become powerless to move on, whereupon he said: Slaughter them, and dye their hoofs in their blood, and put them on the sides of their humps, but neither you nor anyone among those who are with you must eat any part of them.

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent eighteen sacrificial camels with a person. The rest of the hadith is the same, and the first part (of the above-mentioned hadith) is not mentioned.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
اَزْحَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ:
He became exhausted and stopped.
(2)
عَيَ بِشَأْنِهَا:
He became unable to understand its ruling or issue.
(3)
اُبْدِعَتْ:
He became exhausted and halted, no longer able to walk.
(4)
اَهْلُ رُفْقَتِكَ:
Your companions and the people of your caravan.
Benefits and Issues:
If a sacrificial animal (for Hajj) becomes exhausted on the way and is no longer able to walk, then it should be slaughtered, and the necklace of sandals that was around its neck should be dipped in its blood and placed upon it, so that it is known that this is an animal of Hajj sacrifice. Others may eat from it, but those who are part of the caravan may not eat from it. This is the view of the majority (Imam Malik rahimahullah, Abu Hanifah rahimahullah, Ahmad rahimahullah). If the sacrificial animal (hady) was obligatory (i.e., for tamattu‘ or qiran), then another sacrifice must be made in its place. According to Imam Shafi‘i rahimahullah, if the sacrifice was voluntary (nafl), then it is permissible to feed its meat to others and to sell it. If the sacrifice is obligatory and a person does not slaughter it, then he may use its milk, since he has purchased another animal in its place. In the case of a voluntary sacrifice, there is no substitute, so it must be slaughtered. This is the position of the majority.

1763. Commentary:
➊ If the sacrificial animal (hady) becomes helpless on the way or is about to die, then it should be slaughtered (nahr or dhabh) right there. Marking its legs and hump with blood is so that the general public is informed that it was a sacrificial animal (hady). Those who are transporting the hady themselves should not eat from it.
➋ There are two conditions for narrating hadith by meaning (bil-ma‘na) and for its permissibility: first, the chain of transmission (isnad) must be authentic; second, the hadith must also be correct in meaning (sahih al-ma‘na).
