broke a stone and slaughtered the sheep with it. My father said to the people, “Don’t eat it till I ask the
Prophet about it (or till I send somebody to ask the Prophet).” So, he asked or sent somebody to ask
the Prophet, and the Prophet (ﷺ) permitted him to eat it. ‘Ubaidullah (a sub-narrator) said, “I admire that
girl, for though she was a slave-girl, she dared to slaughter the sheep . “
