Sinan bin Salama and I set out to perform Umrah. Sinan took with him a sacrificial camel, driving it along. On the way, the animal grew exhausted and broke down, and he was at a loss as to what to do if it became unable to continue, how he should bring it along.He said, "When I reach the city, I will ask thoroughly about this matter."In the morning, when we camped at al-Batha, he said, "Let us go to Ibn Abbas to discuss this with him."He mentioned to him the situation of his sacrificial camel. Ibn Abbas said, "You have come to one well-informed about this. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent sixteen sacrificial camels with a man and gave him instructions concerning them. The man set out, then returned and said, 'Messenger of Allah, what should I do with any of them that becomes unable to continue?' He replied, 'Slaughter it, then dip its sandals in its blood and place them on its flank, but neither you nor any of your companions should eat from it.'"
حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى أخبرنا عبد الوارث بن سعيد عن أبي التياح الضبعي حدثني
انطلقت أنا وسنان بن سلمة معتمرين قال وانطلق سنان معه ببدنة يسوقها فأزحفت عليه بالطريق فعيي بشأنها إن هي أبدعت كيف يأتي بها فقال لئن قدمت البلد لأستحفين عن ذلك قال فأضحيت فلما نزلنا البطحاء قال انطلق إلى ابن عباس نتحدث إليه قال فذكر له شأن بدنته فقال على الخبير سقطت بعث رسول الله ﷺ بست عشرة بدنة مع رجل وأمره فيها قال فمضى ثم رجع فقال يا رسول الله كيف أصنع بما أبدع علي منها قال انحرها ثم اصبغ نعليها في دمها ثم اجعله على صفحتها ولا تأكل منها أنت ولا أحد من أهل رفقتك
