حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ ح و حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْوَدَّاکِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْجَنِينِ فَقَالَ کُلُوهُ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَنْحَرُ النَّاقَةَ وَنَذْبَحُ الْبَقَرَةَ وَالشَّاةَ فَنَجِدُ فِي بَطْنِهَا الْجَنِينَ أَنُلْقِيهِ أَمْ نَأْکُلُهُ قَالَ کُلُوهُ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَإِنَّ ذَکَاتَهُ ذَکَاةُ أُمِّهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2827
Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the embryo. He replied: Eat it if you wish. Musaddad's version says: we said: Messenger of Allah, we slaughter a she-camel, a cow and a sheep, and we find an embryo in its womb. Shall we throw it away or eat it? He replied: Eat it if you wish for the slaughter of its mother serves its slaughter.
