[Machine] She slaughtered a sheep in her house, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to her and said, "Feed us from your sheep." She said, "We have nothing but the neck, and I feel shy to send the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the neck." So the Messenger returned and informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who said, "Go back to her and say, 'Send it, for it is the gift of the sheep and the nearest part of the sheep to goodness and farthest from harm.'"  

الكبرى للنسائي:٦٦٢٤أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَحْبُوبٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُوسَى أَبُو صَالِحٍ الْفَرَّاءُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ ضُبَاعَةَ ابْنَةِ الزُّبَيْرِ

أَنَّهَا ذَبَحَتْ شَاةً فِي بَيْتِهَا فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَطْعِمِينَا مِنْ شَاتِكُمْ فَقَالَتْ مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلَّا الرَّقَبَةُ وَإِنِّي لَأَسْتَحِيِي أَنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالرَّقَبَةِ فَرَجَعَ الرَّسُولُ فَأَخْبَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهَا فَقُلْ «أَرْسِلِي بِهَا فَإِنَّهَا هَادِيَةُ الشَّاةِ وَأَقْرَبُ الشَّاةِ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَأَبْعَدُهَا مِنَ الْأَذَى»
