وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْجَمُوحِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ:

ابْتَعْنَا بَقَرَةً فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لِنَشْتَرِكَ عَلَيْهَا، فَانْفَلَتَتْ مِنَّا فَامْتَنَعَتْ عَلَيْنَا، فَتَعَرَّضَ لَهَا مَوْلًى لَنَا يُقَالُ لَهُ: [ ذَكْوَانُ ] بِسَيْفٍ فِي يَدِهِ وَهِيَ تَجُولُ بِالصِّمَادِ، فَصَبَا إِلَى تَلٍّ فَلَمَّا مَرَّتْ بِهِ ضَرَبَهَا بِالسَّيْفِ فِي أَصْلِ عُنُقِهَا أَوْ عَلَى عَاتِقِهَا فَخَرَقَهَا بِالسَّيْفِ وَوَقَعَتْ فَلَمْ نُدْرِكْ ذَكَاتَهَا فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الْجِذْعِ فَلَقِيَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَذَكَرْنَا لَهُ شَأْنَهَا، فَقَالَ: كُلُوا، إِذَا فَاتَكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ شَيْءٌ فَاحْبِسُوهُ بِمَا تَحْبِسُونَ بِهِ الْوَحْشَ

✧ We bought a cow during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to share in its meat. It broke loose from us and became difficult to control. A freed slave of ours called Dhakwan confronted it with a sword in his hand while it was running about on the hard ground. It headed toward a hill, and when it passed by him, he struck it with the sword at the base of its neck or on its shoulder, piercing it with the sword, and it fell. We did not manage to slaughter it properly. I went out with 'Abd Allah b. Thabit b. al-Jidh' and we met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We mentioned its situation to him, and he said: 'Eat it. If any of these animals escapes you, restrain it with what you restrain a wild animal.'
