49. Chapter
٤٩۔ كِتَابُ النَّفَقَاتِ
[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him. He ordered me for a particular kind of food and said, "When you go back to your house, command them to provide good food for their livestock and tell them to trim the hooves of their animals so as not to harm their udders when they milk them." Muhammad bin Humran narrated this from Salim al-Jarmi, and he also added, "Tell them to bleed their animals properly, as the year of drought has made their veins weak."
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَأَمَرَ لِي بِذَوْدٍ وَقَالَ إِذَا رَجَعْتَ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ فَمُرْهُمْ فَلْيُحْسِنُوا غِذَاءَ رِبَاعِهِمْ وَمُرْهُمْ فَلْيُقَلِّمُوا أَظْفَارَهُمْ لَا يَعْبِطُوا بِهَا ضُرُوعَ مَوَاشِيهِمْ إِذَا حَلَبُوا وَرَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ سَلْمِ الْجَرْمِيِّ وَزَادَ فِيهِ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ فَلْيَحْتَلِبُوا عَلَيْهَا سِخَالَهَا لَا تُدْرِكُهَا السَّنَةُ وَهِيَ عِجَافٌ
[Machine] A gift was presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, which was a she-camel. He ordered me to milk it, so I milked it but I struggled to get the milk out. He then said, "Leave the one who milks the milk." And that is how it is.
أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لِقْحَةٌ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْلِبَهَا فَحَلَبْتُهَا فَجَهَدْتُ حَلْبَهَا فَقَالَ دَعْ دَاعِي اللَّبَنِ وَكَذَلِكَ
