Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ـ أَوْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا بِسَلْعٍ، فَأُصِيبَتْ شَاةٌ مِنْهَا، فَأَدْرَكَتْهَا فَذَبَحَتْهَا بِحَجَرٍ، فَسُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ كُلُوهَا ‏"‏‏.‏

Ismāʿīl narrated to us, saying: Mālik narrated to me, from Nāfiʿ, from a man of the Anṣār, from Muʿādh ibn Saʿd—or Saʿd ibn Muʿādh—who informed him that a young woman belonging to Kaʿb ibn Mālik used to graze sheep at Salʿ. One of them was injured, and she reached it and slaughtered it with a stone. The Prophet ﷺ was asked about it and said: “Eat it.”
