أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لَهُمْ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا بِسَلْعٍ فَأَبْصَرَتْ بِشَاةٍ مِنْ غَنَمِهَا مَوْتًا فَكَسَرَتْ حَجَرًا فَذَبَحَتْهَا فَقَالَ لأَهْلِهِ لاَ تَأْكُلُوا حَتَّى آتِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَسْأَلَهُ أَوْ حَتَّى أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ يَسْأَلُهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَوْ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِأَكْلِهَا
that Kaʿb had a slave girl who used to graze his sheep on a small mountain, called "Sl'a", situated near the market. Once a sheep was dying, so she broke a stone and slaughtered it with it. When they mentioned that to the Prophet, he, permitted them to eat it.
عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ أَخْبَرَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لَهُ بِالْجُبَيْلِ الَّذِي بِالسُّوقِ وَهْوَ بِسَلْعٍ فَأُصِيبَتْ شَاةٌ فَكَسَرَتْ حَجَرًا فَذَبَحَتْهَا فَذَكَرُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَكْلِهَا
that he said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We have no knife." The Prophet ﷺ said, "if the killing tool causes blood to gush out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a nail or a tooth, for the nail is the knife of Ethiopians and a tooth is a bone." Suddenly a camel ran away and it was stopped (with an arrow). The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts; so if one of them runs away from you and you cannot catch it, treat it in this manner (i.e. shoot it with an arrow).
أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ لَنَا مُدًى فَقَالَ مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ فَكُلْ لَيْسَ الظُّفُرَ وَالسِّنَّ أَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ وَأَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ وَنَدَّ بَعِيرٌ فَحَبَسَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الإِبِلِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا هَكَذَا
