malik:24-4 – Mālik > Nāfiʿ > a man Min al-Anṣār > Muʿādh b. Saʿd Aw Saʿd b. Muʿādh

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from a man of the Ansar from Muadh ibn Sad or Sad ibn Muadh that a slave-girl of Kab ibn Malik was herding some sheep at Sal (a mountain near Madina). One of the sheep was about to die, so she went over to it and slaughtered it with a stone. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about that, and he said, "There is no harm in it, so eat it."  

مالك:٢٤-٤ – وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَوْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ

أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لَهَا بِسَلْعٍ فَأُصِيبَتْ شَاةٌ مِنْهَا فَأَدْرَكَتْهَا فَذَكَّتْهَا بِحَجَرٍ فَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهَا فَكُلُوهَا
