Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his father said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked, ‘Messenger of Allah! Some people from the desert bring us meat, and we do not know whether the name of Allah has been mentioned over it or not.’ The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘Mention the name of Allah over it and eat.’ ”
Malik said, “That was in the beginning of Islam.”

He ordered him to eat it. Then he asked Zayd ibn Thabit about it, and he said, “Does a corpse move?” and he forbade eating its meat.
Malik was asked about a sheep which fell down and injured itself badly and then its master reached it and slaughtered it. Blood flowed from it but it did not move. Malik said, “If he kills it and blood flows from it and its eyes blink, he should eat it.”
