Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ذَبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُضْحِيَّةً لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي يَا ثَوْبَانُ أَصْلِحْ لَحْمَ هَذِهِ الشَّاةِ قَالَ فَمَا زِلْتُ أُطْعِمُهُ مِنْهَا حَتَّى قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ.

Zayd ibn al-Hubab narrated to us, Mu'awiyah ibn Salih narrated to us, Abu al-Zahiriyyah narrated to me, from Jubayr ibn Nufayr, from Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) slaughtered a sacrificial animal of his, then said to me: "O Thawban, prepare the meat of this sheep." He said: So I kept feeding him from it until he reached Madinah.
