Sunan Abi Dawud

Hadith #1763

Ibn Abbas said:The Messenger of Allah (SWAS) sent a man of al-Aslam tribe and sent with him eighteen sacrificial camels (as offering to Makkah). What do you think if any one of them becomes fatigued. He replied : You should sacrifice it then dye its shoe with its blood, then mark with it on its neck. But you or any of your companions should not eat out of it. Abu Dawud said: The following words of this tradition are not supported by any other tradition ā€œYou should not eat of it yourself nor any of your companionsā€. The version of `Abdal Warith has the words ā€œthen hang it in its neckā€ instead of the words ā€œmark or strike with itā€. Abu Dawud said I heard Abu Salamah say if the chain of narrators and the meaning are correct, it is sufficient for you
