حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، صَاحِبِ بُدْنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِمَا عَطِبَ مِنَ الْبُدْنِ قَالَ " انْحَرْهَا ثُمَّ اغْمِسْ نَعْلَهَا فِي دَمِهَا ثُمَّ خَلِّ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَبَيْنَهَا فَيَأْكُلُوهَا " . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ ذُؤَيْبٍ أَبِي قَبِيصَةَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ نَاجِيَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ قَالُوا فِي هَدْىِ التَّطَوُّعِ إِذَا عَطِبَ لاَ يَأْكُلُ هُوَ وَلاَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ رُفْقَتِهِ وَيُخَلَّى بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ يَأْكُلُونَهُ وَقَدْ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ . وَقَالُوا إِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا غَرِمَ بِقَدْرِ مَا أَكَلَ مِنْهُ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ إِذَا أَكَلَ مِنْ هَدْىِ التَّطَوُّعِ شَيْئًا فَقَدْ ضَمِنَ الَّذِي أَكَلَ .

Harun ibn Ishaq al-Hamdani narrated to us: Abdah ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from Hisham ibn Urwah, from his father, from Najiyah al-Khuza'i, who cared for the Messenger of Allah's sacrificial camels. He said: I asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, what should I do with one of the sacrificial camels that becomes disabled?’ He replied, ‘Slaughter it, dip its sandal in its blood, then leave it for the people to eat.’
There is also a report on this topic from Dhu'ayb Abu Qabisah al-Khuza'i. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Najiyah is hasan sahih. Scholars act on this: if a voluntary sacrificial animal becomes disabled, neither its owner nor anyone accompanying him should eat from it. It should be left for the people to eat, and it suffices as the offering. This is the view of al-Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq. They said that if he eats any of it, he must repay the value of what he ate. Some scholars said that if he eats any of a voluntary offering, he is liable for it.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report concerns a voluntary sacrificial offering that becomes disabled and says to mark it by dipping its sandal in its blood before leaving it for others.
