So it was narrated from Rafi' ibn Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, and a camel from the people's camels strayed, and they had no horses with them, so a man shot it with an arrow and stopped it, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These animals have strays just as wild animals have strays, so do with it what was done with it in this manner.
فعن رافع بن خديج رضي الله عنه قال: كنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في سفر، فند بعير من إبل القوم، ولم يكن معهم خيل، فرماه رجل بسهم فحبسه، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: إن لهذه البهائم أوابد كأوابد الوحش، فما فعل منها هذا فافعلوا به هكذا
