وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَوْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ
أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لَهَا بِسَلْعٍ فَأُصِيبَتْ شَاةٌ مِنْهَا فَأَدْرَكَتْهَا فَذَكَّتْهَا بِحَجَرٍ فَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهَا فَكُلُوهَا

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from a man of the Ansar from Muadh ibn Sad or Sad ibn Muadh that a slave-girl of Kab ibn Malik was herding some sheep at Sal (a mountain near Madina). One of the sheep was about to die, so she went over to it and slaughtered it with a stone. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about that, and he said, "There is no harm in it, so eat it."

- Dāraquṭnī
قد اختلف فيه على نافع وعلى أصحابه اختلف فيه على عبيد الله وعلى يحيى بن سعيد وعلى أيوب وعلى إسماعيل بن أمية وعلى موسى بن عقبة وعلى غيرهم وقيل فيه عن نافع عن ابن عمر ولا يصح والاختلاف فيه كثير
machine translationThere is disagreement about it concerning Nāfiʿ and his students. There is disagreement about it concerning ʿUbaydullāh, Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, Ayyūb, Ismāʿīl b. Umayyah, Mūsā b. ʿUqbah, and others. It was also said concerning it, "from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar," but that is not sound (ṣaḥīḥ), and the disagreement about it is great.
