Muwatta Malik #892
Hajj
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ سَاقَ بَدَنَةً تَطَوُّعًا فَعَطِبَتْ فَنَحَرَهَا ثُمَّ خَلَّى بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ النَّاسِ يَأْكُلُونَهَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَىْءٌ وَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهَا أَوْ أَمَرَ مَنْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا غَرِمَهَا .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Said ibn al-
Musayyab said, "If someone dedicates an animal voluntarily and then it
is injured and he kills it and gives everyone a free hand in eating
it, he owes nothing. If, however, he eats some of it himself, or tells
certain other people to eat it, then he owes compensation."
