حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُوسَى عَنْ نَافِعٍ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ يُحَدِّثُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لَهُ بِسَلْعٍ بَلَغَ الْمَوْتُ شَاةً مِنْهَا فَأَخَذَتْ ظُرَرَةً فَذَكَّتْهَا بِهِ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِهَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4597
It was narrated from Naafi': i heard a man from Banu Salamah telling Ibn 'Umar: A slave girl of Ka'b ibn Maalik was tending sheep of his at Sal', and one of the sheep was about to die, so she took a sharp-edged stone and slaughtered it. And he told him to eat it.
