Hadith 5463

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ " امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ تَرْعَى عَلَى آلِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ غَنَمًا بِسَلْعٍ ، فَخَافَتْ عَلَى شَاةٍ مِنْهَا الْمَوْتَ ، فَذَبَحَتْهَا بِحَجَرٍ ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ للرسول صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَكْلِهَا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) had a slave girl who used to graze his goats at "Sala’". One of those goats was about to die, so the slave girl took a sharp-edged stone and slaughtered the goat with it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted them to eat it.
