1763. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent so-and-so Al-Aslamī with eighteen camels, so he asked: 'What if some of them become too fatigued for me (to continue with)?' He said: 'Slaughter them, then dip their sandals in their blood and strike them on their humps, and do not eat from them — you or your companions.'" Or he said: "or your traveling-companions." (Sahih)
Abū Dāwūd said: The one that was alone in narrating this Hadīth said: "Do not eat from it — you or your traveling-companions."
And in the narration of 'Abdul-Wārīth: "place them them on their humps" instead of: "strike them."
Abū Dāwūd said: I heard Abū Salamah say: "When you maintain
the chain and its meaning, that is enough for you.”[1]

Commentary
If the sacrificial animal gets too tired to move further or nears death, it should be slaughtered then and there, and the garland and sandals hung around its neck, marked with blood, as an indication to people that it was a sacrificial animal.
