It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the wife of the Messenger, Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), states that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by her slave-girl near a dead goat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Only its eating is forbidden." Imam Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I have heard the words "Only its eating is forbidden" only from Imam Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him). My father (Imam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sufyan narrated the hadith twice through the chain of Maymunah.
