I and Sinan b. Salama proceeded (to Mecca to perform Umra. 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 'Abbis (Allah be pleased with them) so that we should narrate to him (this incident), and he (Sinan) reported to him the incident of the sacrificial camel. He (Ibn Abbas) said: You have referred (the matter) to the well informed person. (Now listen) Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent sixteen sacrificial camels with a man whom he put in change 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.  

وَانْطَلَقَ سِنَانٌ مَعَهُ بِبَدَنَةٍ يَسُوقُهَا فَأَزْحَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ بِالطَّرِيقِ فَعَيِيَ بِشَأْنِهَا إِنْ هِيَ أُبْدِعَتْ كَيْفَ يَأْتِي بِهَا فَقَالَ لَئِنْ قَدِمْتُ الْبَلَدَ لأَسْتَحْفِيَنَّ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَأَضْحَيْتُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلْنَا الْبَطْحَاءَ قَالَ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ نَتَحَدَّثْ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ شَأْنَ بَدَنَتِهِ فَقَالَ عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطْتَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِسِتَّ عَشْرَةَ بَدَنَةً مَعَ رَجُلٍ وَأَمَّرَهُ فِيهَا قَالَ فَمَضَى ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِمَا أُبْدِعَ عَلَىَّ مِنْهَا قَالَ انْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اصْبُغْ نَعْلَيْهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا وَلاَ تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلاَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ  

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.  

بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فُلاَنًا الأَسْلَمِيَّ وَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ بِثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ بَدَنَةً فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أُزْحِفَ عَلَىَّ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ قَالَ تَنْحَرُهَا ثُمَّ تَصْبُغُ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ اضْرِبْهَا عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا وَلاَ تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلاَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ أَوْ قَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ  

[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.'"  

بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْأَسْلَمِيَّ وَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ بَدَنَةً فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أُزْحِفَ عَلَيَّ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ قَالَ «انْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اصْبِغْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ اضْرِبْ بِهِ صَفْحَتَهَا وَلَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ»  

[Machine] "I and Sinan set off as pilgrims, and Sinan set off with a camel that he was riding. I crawled towards him on the way, so he said, 'If we arrive at the city, I will ask about that.' He said, 'So, I left, and when we reached the open land, he said, 'Go to Ibn Abbas.' So, we went and he mentioned his camel's issue to him. Ibn Abbas said, 'Ask the knowledgeable one.' He had sixteen camels sent with a man by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he instructed him about them. He went and then returned and asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what should I do with what is outstanding for me from them?' He said, 'Slaughter it, then dye its sandals with its blood, then place it on its side, and neither you nor anyone from your entourage should eat from it.'"  

انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَسِنَانٌ معتمرين وانطلق سنان معه ببدنة يسوقها فأزحفت عليه في الطريق فقال لئن قدمنا البلد لأستفتين عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَأَصْبَحْتُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلْنَا الْبَطْحَاءَ قَالَ انْطَلَقْ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَذَكَرَ لَهُ شَأْنَ بَدَنَتِهِ فَقَالَ عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطَتْ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِسِتَّ عَشْرَةَ بَدَنَةً مَعَ رَجُلٍ وَأَمَرَهُ فِيهَا فَمَضَى ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِمَا يُبْدِعُ عَلَيَّ مِنْهَا قَالَ انْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اصْبِغْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا وَلاَ تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلاَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ  

[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."  

عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطْتَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فُلَانًا الْأَسْلَمِيَّ وَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ بِثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ بَدَنَةً فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَزْحَفَ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ «تَنْحَرُهَا ثُمَّ تَغْمِسُ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ تَضْرِبُ بِهِ عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا وَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ أَوْ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ»  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ بِثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ بَدَنَةً مَعَ رَجُلٍ وَأَمَرَهُ فِيهَا بِأَمْرِهِ فَانْطَلَقَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَزْحَفَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ «انْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اصْبُغْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا وَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ»  

"بَعَثَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ بثَمَانِىَ عَشْرَةَ بَدَنَةً مَعَ رَجُلٍ، وَأَمَرَهُ فِيهَا بِأَمْرِهِ، فَانْطَلَقَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَزْحَفَ (*) عَلَيْنَا مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ؟ قَالَ: انْحَرْها ثُمَّ اغْمسْ نَعْلَهَا في دَمِهَا، ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا، وَلَا تَأكُلْ مِنْهَا أنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْل رفقَتكَ".
