حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُرَّةَ، مَوْلَى عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ شَاةٍ، ذُبِحَتْ فَتَحَرَّكَ بَعْضُهَا فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَهَا ثُمَّ سَأَلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمَيْتَةَ لَتَتَحَرَّكُ وَنَهَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ . وَسُئِلَ مَالِكٌ عَنْ شَاةٍ تَرَدَّتْ فَتَكَسَّرَتْ فَأَدْرَكَهَا صَاحِبُهَا فَذَبَحَهَا فَسَالَ الدَّمُ مِنْهَا وَلَمْ تَتَحَرَّكْ فَقَالَ مَالِكٌ إِذَا كَانَ ذَبَحَهَا وَنَفَسُهَا يَجْرِي وَهِيَ تَطْرِفُ فَلْيَأْكُلْهَا .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that AbuMurra, the mawla of Aqil ibn Abi Talib asked Abu Hurayra about a sheepwhich was slaughtered and then part of it moved. He ordered him to eatit. Then he asked Zayd ibn Thabit about it, and he said, "Does acorpse move?" and he forbade eating its meat. Malik was askedabout a sheep which fell down and injured itself badly and then itsmaster reached it and slaughtered it. Blood flowed from it but it didnot move. Malik said, "If he kills it and blood flows from it and itseyes blink, he should eat it." Translation Not Available
