Hadith 18944

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ ، وَكَانَ صَاحِبَ بُدْنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِمَا عَطِبَ مِنَ الَإِبِلِ أَوْ الْبُدْنِ ؟ قَالَ : " انْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ أَلْقِ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ، ثُمَّ خَلِّ عَنْهَا وَعَنِ النَّاسِ ، فَلْيَأْكُلُوهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Najiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was responsible for the camels of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), that I asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): If a sacrificial camel is about to die, what should I do? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Slaughter it, dip its sandal in its blood and rub it on its forehead, and leave it for the people so that they may eat it.
