[Machine] I set off with my companion until we reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , but we couldn't find him. Aisha fed us dates and gave us porridge. When the Prophet ﷺ arrived, he uprooted a plant and asked, "Did you feed them anything?" We replied, "Yes." While we were discussing this, a shepherd brought a ewe and the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Has it given birth?" The shepherd replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then sacrifice a sheep." He then turned to us and said, "Do not think that we sacrificed the sheep for your sake. We have a hundred sheep, and we don't want to increase them when the shepherd gives birth." So he commanded the shepherd, and he sacrificed a sheep.

انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ فَأَطْعَمَتْنَا عَائِشَةُ تَمْرًا وَعَصَدَتْ لَنَا عَصِيدَةً إِذْ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَنْقَلِعُ فَقَالَ «هَلْ أَطْعَمْتِهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟» قُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ دَفَعَ الرَّاعِي الْغَنَمَ إِلَى الْمُرَاحِ عَلَى يَدِهِ سَخْلَةٌ فَقَالَ «هَلْ وَلَدَتْ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَاذْبَحْ شَاةً» ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَا تَحْسَبُنَّ أَنَّا ذَبَحْنَا الشَّاةَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمَا لَنَا غَنْمٌ مِائَةٌ لَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ تَزِيدَ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا وُلِدَ لِلرَّاعِي بَهْمَةٌ أَمَرْنَاهُ فَذَبَحَ شَاةً
