[Machine] Anas ibn Malik, the companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , narrated to me that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him, he said, "I came back and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what should I do with the surplus of the sacrificial animal?' He said, 'Slaughter it, then dip its sandals into its blood, and then put it on its surface or on its side. Neither you nor anyone from your companions should eat from it.'"  

أحمد:١٦٦٠٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ يَعْنِي شَيْبَانَ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ شَهْرٍ قَالَ

حَدَّثَنِي الْأَنْصَارِيُّ صَاحِبُ بُدْنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ قَالَ رَجَعْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا تَأْمُرُنِي بِمَا عَطِبَ مِنْهَا؟ قَالَ انْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اصْبُغْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّضَعْهَا عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا أَوْ عَلَى جَنْبِهَا وَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ

If any of these is completely exhausted and you apprehend its death, then slaughter it, then dip its hoofs in its blood and imprint it on its hump; but neither you nor any one of your comrades should eat it.

The Messenger of Allah (SWAS) sent a man of al-Aslam tribe and sent with him eighteen sacrificial camels (as offering to Makkah). What do you think if any one of them becomes fatigued. He replied : You should sacrifice it then dye its shoe with its blood, then mark with it on its neck. But you or any of your companions should not eat out of it. Abu Dawud said: The following words of this tradition are not supported by any other tradition “You should not eat of it yourself nor any of your companions”. The version of ʿAbdal Warith has the words “then hang it in its neck” instead of the words “mark or strike with it”. Abu Dawud said I heard Abu Salamah say if the chain of narrators and the meaning are correct, it is sufficient for you.

[Machine] I was informed by Al-Ansari, the companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , that when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sent him on a mission, he said: "I returned and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what should I do with the sacrificial animal if it is sick?' He said, 'Slaughter it, then dip its sandals in its blood, and then place them on its hide or on its side. Neither you nor any of your companions should eat from it.'"

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed a man from Aslam and sent eighteen men with him. The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what if some harm comes to me from them?' He said, 'Slaughter a sheep and dye its hooves with its blood. Then strike your face with it, and none of them or your companions will be harmed.'"

[Machine] On the skilled person, you sent the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so and so the Muslim, and he sent with him eighteen bodies. So he said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ , what do you think if one of them touches me?" He said, "Slaughter it, then dip your sandal in its blood, then strike it on its surface and neither you nor anyone from your companions or your friends should eat from it."
