Syedna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us. I intended to slaughter a goat, and it made a sound. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard its sound and said: O Jabir! Do not slaughter a goat that gives milk and has offspring. I said: O Messenger of Allah! This goat is young; I have fattened it by feeding it unripe and moist dates.
