Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent sixteen camels with a man (Najiyah al-Aslami), instructing him: 'If any are lost, mark them by soaking their sandals in blood and smearing it on their humps. Neither you nor your companions may eat from them.'"
Commentary and footnotes (4)

Note 1

(1) With Najiyah: (Al-Maraqi)

Note 2

If a voluntary sacrifice is lost en route, slaughter it and mark it as described - the wealthy cannot eat it. For obligatory sacrifices, replace it.

(2) Companions: Referring to wealthy travelers, as Najiyah's group were affluent and abstained voluntarily. Hence Al-Hidayah rules: "If a voluntary sacrifice is lost en route, slaughter it and mark it as described - the wealthy cannot eat it. For obligatory sacrifices, replace it." (Fath al-Qadir)
