[Machine] She had a sheep in her house, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to her, saying, "Feed us from your sheep." She said to the Messenger, "There is nothing left for us except the neck, and I am ashamed to send it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So the Messenger returned to her and informed her, and he said, "Go back to her and say to her: Send it, for it is the guidance of the sheep, and the closest sheep to goodness and the furthest from harm."

[Machine] She slaughtered a sheep in her house, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a message to her, saying, "Feed us from your sheep."
