Arabic Text

أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ : أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ تَرْعَى لِآلِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ غَنَمًا بِسَلْعٍ، فَخَافَتْ عَلَى شَاةٍ مِنْهَا أَنْ تَمُوتَ، فَأَخَذَتْ حَجَرًا فَذَبَحَتْهَا بِهِ، وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ ذُكِرَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ" فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَكْلِهَا "

English Translation

It was narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Eat the meat of your sacrificial animals for three days.' Then Jabir said: We returned to Madinah and someone told him this was from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he said: 'I thought it sufficient that we eat for three days.'
