حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ـ أَوْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا بِسَلْعٍ، فَأُصِيبَتْ شَاةٌ مِنْهَا، فَأَدْرَكَتْهَا فَذَبَحَتْهَا بِحَجَرٍ، فَسُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ كُلُوهَا ‏"‏‏.‏
