Sayyiduna Najiyah Khuzai (may Allah be pleased with him), who was the caretaker of the sacrificial animals of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), narrates: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What should I do with an animal among these sacrificial animals that becomes exhausted (or is about to die)?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Slaughter it, soak its collar in its blood, and leave it for the people; they will eat it themselves."
