Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، سَمِعَ ابْنَ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، يُخْبِرُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لَهُمْ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا بِسَلْعٍ، فَأَبْصَرَتْ بِشَاةٍ مِنْ غَنَمِهَا مَوْتًا، فَكَسَرَتْ حَجَرًا فَذَبَحَتْهَا، فَقَالَ لأَهْلِهِ لاَ تَأْكُلُوا حَتَّى آتِيَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَسْأَلَهُ، أَوْ حَتَّى أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ يَسْأَلُهُ‏.‏ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَوْ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِأَكْلِهَا‏.‏

Muḥammad ibn Abī Bakr narrated to us: Muʿtamir narrated to us, from ʿUbayd Allāh, from Nāfiʿ, who heard Ibn Kaʿb ibn Mālik inform Ibn ʿUmar that his father had told him: “A young woman belonging to us used to graze sheep at Salʿ. She saw that one of her sheep was dying, so she broke a stone and slaughtered it with it. He said to his family, ‘Do not eat it until I go to the Prophet ﷺ and ask him—or send someone to ask him.’ He went to the Prophet ﷺ, or sent someone to him, and the Prophet ﷺ instructed that it be eaten.”
