If any of these is completely exhausted and you apprehend its death, then slaughter it, then dip its hoofs in its blood and imprint it on its hump; but neither you nor any one of your comrades should eat it.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَبْعَثُ مَعَهُ بِالْبُدْنِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ إِنْ عَطِبَ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ فَخَشِيتَ عَلَيْهِ مَوْتًا فَانْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اغْمِسْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ اضْرِبْ بِهِ صَفْحَتَهَا وَلاَ تَطْعَمْهَا 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

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent eighteen men on a military expedition and gave them specific instructions. They set out and then returned to him. He asked them, "Did you notice anything?" They replied, "Yes, we found a stray camel." He commanded them to slaughter it, taint its sandals with its blood, place them on its side, and not to eat from it nor allow anyone from their companions to do so. Abdullah (the narrator) said, "My father did not hear the name Ismail ibn Ulayyah from anyone except At-Tayyahi, except for this Hadith."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ بِثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ بَدَنَةً مَعَرَجُلٍ فَأَمَرَهُ فِيهَا بِأَمْرِهِ فَانْطَلَقَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَزْحَفَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ؟ فَقَالَ انْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اصْبُغْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا وَلا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ قال عبدُ الله قال أبي وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ مِنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِإِلا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ

[AI] Anas ibn Malik, the companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , narrated to me that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him, he said, "I came back and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what should I do with the surplus of the sacrificial animal?' He said, 'Slaughter it, then dip its sandals into its blood, and then put it on its surface or on its side. Neither you nor anyone from your companions should eat from it.'"

حَدَّثَنِي الْأَنْصَارِيُّ صَاحِبُ بُدْنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ قَالَ رَجَعْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا تَأْمُرُنِي بِمَا عَطِبَ مِنْهَا؟ قَالَ انْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اصْبُغْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّضَعْهَا عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا أَوْ عَلَى جَنْبِهَا وَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ sent me a gift and said, "If a part of it becomes faulty, then sacrifice it and then strike his slipper with its blood, then strike his face with it, and neither you nor your companions should eat it, and keep a distance between it and the people."

بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَعِي هَدْيًا وَقَالَ إِذَا عَطِبَ شَيْءٌ مِنْهَا فَانْحَرْهُ ثُمَّ اضْرِبْ نَعْلَهُ فِي دَمِهِ ثُمَّ اضْرِبْ بِهِ صَفْحَتَهُ وَلَا تَأْكُلْ أَنْتَ وَلَا أَهْلُ رُفْقَتِكَ وَخَلِّ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ

[AI] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ used to send out meat and would say, "If there is anything wrong with it, then fear for it, so sacrifice it and dip its sandal in its blood and strike its surface, and do not eat from it, neither you nor anyone from your companions."

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَبْعَثُ بِالْبُدْنِ فَيَقُولُ إِنْ عَطِبَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَخَشِيتَ عَلَيْهِ فَانْحَرْهَا وَاغْمِسْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا وَاضْرِبْ صَفْحَتَهَا وَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ رُفْقَتِكَ

[AI] I asked the Prophet ﷺ about the sacrifice, whether it should be shared or not. He said, "Slaughter it, perfume its leather with its blood, and strike with it on its side or on its shoulder. Do not eat anything from it, neither you nor your companions."

سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْهَدْيِ يَعْطَبُ قَالَ انْحَرْهُ وَاصْبُغْ نَعْلَهُ فِي دَمِهِ وَاضْرِبْ بِهِ عَلَى صَفْحَتِهِ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى جَنْبِهِ وَلَا تَأْكُلَنَّ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَهْلُ رُفْقَتِكَ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ sent a man named Abu Hadi with a sacrificial animal. He said, "If any part of it becomes defective, slaughter it, then strike its hoof in its blood and then strike its page with it. Do not eat it yourself, nor let your companions eat it. Make a separation between you and the people."

بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَعَ أَبِي هَدْيًا قَالَ إِذَا عَطِبَ شَيْءٌ مِنْهَا فَانْحَرْهُ ثُمَّ اضْرِبْ خُفَّهُ فِي دَمِهِ ثُمَّ اضْرِبْ بِهِ صَفْحَتَهُ وَلَا تَأْكُلْهُ أَنْتَ وَلَا أَهْلُ رُفْقَتِكَ وَخَلِّ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ

[AI] I was informed by Al-Ansari, the companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , that when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sent him on a mission, he said: "I returned and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what should I do with the sacrificial animal if it is sick?' He said, 'Slaughter it, then dip its sandals in its blood, and then place them on its hide or on its side. Neither you nor any of your companions should eat from it.'"

حَدَّثَنِي الْأَنْصَارِيُّ صَاحِبُ بُدْنِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ قَالَ رَجَعْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا تَأْمُرُنِي بِمَا عَطِبَ مِنْهَا؟ قَالَ انْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اصْبُغْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ ضَعْهَا عَلَى صَفْحَتِهَا أَوْ عَلَى جَنْبِهَا وَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رِفْقَتِكَ

[AI] "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»

“If any of them becomes unfit and you are afraid that it will die, then slaughter it, dip the sandal (tied around its neck) in its blood and place it on its side, but neither you nor any of your companions should eat anything from it.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3105)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ مَعَهُ بِبَدَنَةٍ فَقَالَ «إِنْ عَطِبَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَخَشِتَ مَوْتَهَا فَانْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اغْمِسْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ اضْرِبْ بِهَا صَفْحَتَهَا وَلَا تَطْعَمْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ وَاقْسِمْهَا»

[AI] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to send with him (someone) with the sacrificial animals, then he would say: 'If something is wrong with it, and you fear death, then slaughter it. Then dip its hoof in its blood, then strike its forehead with it. And do not eat from it, neither you nor any of your companions, and distribute it (among the poor).' And the wording is from the Hadith of Yazid bin Zurai' and Khalid bin Al-Harith, Dhuayb bin Qabisa said."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَبْعَثُ مَعَهُ بِالْبُدْنِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «إِنْ عَطِبَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَخَشِيتَ مَوْتًا فَانْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اغْمِسْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ اضْرِبْ بِهَا صَفْحَتَهَا وَلَا تَطْعَمْ مِنْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِكَ وَاقْسِمْهَا» وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زُرَيْعٍ وَقَالَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ذُؤَيْبُ بْنُ قَبِيصَةَ

[AI] 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»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ sent me with a voluntary sacrifice and said, "If any part of it becomes damaged, then sacrifice it, after that, dip his sandal in its blood, strike it on its side, and mix between the people and him."

بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَعِي بِهَدْيٍ تَطَوُّعًا وَقَالَ «إِنْ عَطِبَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَانْحَرْهُ ثُمَّ اصْبُغْ نَعْلَهُ فِي دَمِهِ وَاضْرِبْهُ عَلَى صَفْحَتِهِ وَخَلِّ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَبَيْنَهُ»

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»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ sent a companion with camels and commanded him that if any of them become sick, he should sacrifice it, dip its shoe in its blood, strike its cheek with it, and prohibit himself and his companions from eating from it, and to distribute it among the people.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ مَعَهُ بِالْبُدْنِ وَأَمَرَهُ إِنْ عَطِبَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ أَنْ يَنْحَرَهَا وَأَنْ يَغْمِسَ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا وَيَضْرِبَ بِهِ صَفْحَتَهَا وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ لَا يَطْعَمَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِهِ وَأَنْ يَقْسِمَهَا

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ used to send with him the sacrifice and then he would say: "If something is wrong with her (the sacrifice), then I fear her death, so slaughter her, then dip her sandals in her blood, then hit her with it (the sandals), and do not feed her, neither you nor anyone from your companions."

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَبْعَثُ مَعَهُ بِالْبُدْنِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ إِنْ عَطِبَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَخَشِيتَ عَلَيْهَا مَوْتًا فَانْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اغْمِسْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ اضْرِبْ بِهِ صَفْحَتَهَا وَلَا تَطْعَمْهَا أَنْتَ وَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رِفْقَتِكَ

"إِنْ عَطِبَ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ لخَشيتَ علَيْه مَوْتًا فَاذبَحْهَا ثُمَّ اغْمِسْ نَعْلَهَا فِى دَمهَا، ثم اضْربْ بِهَا صَفْحَتَهَا، وَلا تَطْعَمْ منْهَا أنْتَ وَلا أحَدٌ منْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتك وَاقْسمهَا" .

"إِنْ عَطبَ منْهَا شَىْءٌ فَانْحرْهُ ثُمَّ اضْبُغ نَعْلَهُ فِى دَمه ثمَّ اضْرِبْ صَفْحَتَهُ ثمَّ خَلِّ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّاس فَلْيَأْكُلُوه" .

"إِنْ عَرَضَ لَهُما فَانْحَرْهُمَا وَاغْمس النَّعْلِ في دمَائهِمَا، ثُمَّ اضْرِبْ بِه صَفْحَتَيْهِمَا حَتَّى يُعْلَمَ أنَّهُمَا بَدَنَتَان وَلَا تَأكُلْ منْهَا أَنْتَ وَلا أحَدٌ منْ رُفْقَتكَ، دَعُوهَا لمن بعدكم" .

"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".
