[Machine] He said: "A stubborn and aggressive cow passed by us, she does not pass by anyone without charging at them and causing them harm. We confronted her until we reached the Sammah, and with us was a Coptic slave boy belonging to Bani Haram, and he had a container with him. She charged at him, aiming to harm him, so he hit her below the neck and above the shoulder, causing her to stumble. However, she did not show any sign of exhaustion. Jabir said: "So I informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about her condition." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If humanity becomes distressed and forbidding, then that which is permissible for wild animals becomes permissible for them. Go back to your cow and eat it." So we went back to her and slaughtered her.
