Volume 3, Book 38, Number 500:
Narrated Ibn Ka'b bin Malik from his father:
We had some sheep which used to graze at Sala'. One of our slavegirls saw a sheep dying and she
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 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 . "
