We had some sheep which used to graze at Sala'. One of our slavegirls saw a sheep dying and she broke a stone and slaughtered the sheep with it. My father said to the people, "Don't eat it till I ask the Prophet about it (or till I send somebody to ask the Prophet)." So, he asked or sent somebody to ask the Prophet, and the Prophet ﷺ permitted him to eat it. 'Ubaidullah (a sub-narrator) said, "I admire that girl, for though she was a slave-girl, she dared to slaughter the sheep . "  

أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ غَنَمٌ تَرْعَى بِسَلْعٍ فَأَبْصَرَتْ جَارِيَةٌ لَنَا بِشَاةٍ مِنْ غَنَمِنَا مَوْتًا فَكَسَرَتْ حَجَرًا فَذَبَحَتْهَا بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ لاَ تَأْكُلُوا حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَوْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَنْ يَسْأَلُهُ وَأَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ ذَاكَ أَوْ أَرْسَلَ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِهَا قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فَيُعْجِبُنِي أَنَّهَا أَمَةٌ وَأَنَّهَا ذَبَحَتْ  

[Machine] He informed him that his neighbor had a servant girl who used to take care of their livestock. She saw a dead sheep from her flock, so she broke a stone and slaughtered it with it. He told his family not to eat from it until he goes to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asks him. So he went to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about it. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, we had a servant girl who used to take care of our livestock. She saw a dead sheep from her flock, so she broke a stone and slaughtered it with it." The Prophet ﷺ ordered him to eat it.
