Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When we migrated to Madinah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) divided us into groups of ten, and I was among the ten who were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We had one goat, and we would drink its milk among ourselves. One night, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived late, so we set aside his share. I got up and felt hungry, so I drank that milk. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, I had not slept. He came to the vessel in which we used to keep milk for him, but found nothing there. So I said: O Messenger of Allah! Should I not slaughter it? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No."
