Musnad Ahmad 16384

Translation

Then the Prophet ﷺ came, walking with a brisk, swaying gait, and said: 'Have you been fed anything?' We said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' While we were thus, the shepherd of the sheep appeared in the sheepfold, carrying a newborn lamb on his arm. He said: 'Have you delivered any newborns?' The shepherd said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then slaughter a sheep for us.' Then he turned to us and said: 'Do not think' — he did not say: 'Do not think' — 'that we slaughtered the sheep because of you two. We have one hundred sheep, and we do not want them to increase beyond that. So when the shepherd delivers a lamb, we order him to slaughter a sheep.' Then he said: 'O Messenger of Allah...'
