حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، سَمِعَ الْمُعْتَمِرَ، أَنْبَأَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ غَنَمٌ تَرْعَى بِسَلْعٍ، فَأَبْصَرَتْ جَارِيَةٌ لَنَا بِشَاةٍ مِنْ غَنَمِنَا مَوْتًا، فَكَسَرَتْ حَجَرًا فَذَبَحَتْهَا بِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ لاَ تَأْكُلُوا حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، أَوْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَنْ يَسْأَلُهُ. وَأَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ ذَاكَ، أَوْ أَرْسَلَ، فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَكْلِهَا. قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فَيُعْجِبُنِي أَنَّهَا أَمَةٌ، وَأَنَّهَا ذَبَحَتْ. تَابَعَهُ عَبْدَةُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ.

Narrator: Ibn Ka`b bin Malik from his father

English translation
Narrated Ibn Ka`b bin Malik from his father: We had some sheep which used to graze at Sala'. One of our slavegirls saw a sheep dying and she broke a stone and slaughtered the sheep with it. My father said to the people, "Don't eat it till I ask the Prophet about it (or till I send somebody to ask the Prophet)." So, he asked or sent somebody to ask the Prophet, and the Prophet (ﷺ) permitted him to eat it. 'Ubaidullah (a sub-narrator) said, "I admire that girl, for though she was a slave-girl, she dared to slaughter the sheep
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবনু কা‘ব ইবনু মালিক (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি তার পিতা হতে বর্ণনা করেন যে, তার কতকগুলো ছাগল-ভেড়া ছিল, যা সাল্‘ নামক স্থানে চরে বেড়াতো। একদিন আমাদের এক দাসী দেখলো যে, আমাদের ছাগল ভেড়ার মধ্যে একটি ছাগল মারা যাচ্ছে। তখন সে একটি পাথর ভেঙ্গে তা দিয়ে ছাগলটাকে যবেহ করে দিল। কা‘ব তাদেরকে বললেন, তোমরা এটা খেয়ো না, যে পর্যন্ত না আমি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -কে জিজ্ঞেস করে আসি অথবা কাউকে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর নিকট জিজ্ঞেস করতে পাঠাই। তিনি নিজেই নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -কে এ সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞেস করেছিলেন অথবা কাউকে পাঠিয়েছিলেন। তিনি [নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ] তা খাওয়ার হুকুম দিয়েছিলেন। উবাইদুল্লাহ বলেন, এ কথাটা আমার কাছে খুব ভাল লাগল যে, দাসী হয়েও সে ছাগলটাকে যবেহ করল। (৫৫০১, ৫৫০২, ৫৫০৪) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২১৩৯, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
