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

[Machine] 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

[Machine] "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»

[Machine] 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»

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»
