61. Sacrificial Animals
٦١۔ كِتَابُ الضَّحَايَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Do not slaughter except a mature sheep, unless it becomes difficult for you, then you may slaughter a young sheep."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَذْبَحُوا إِلَّا مُسِنَّةً إِلَّا إِنْ تَعَسَّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَذْبَحُوا جَذَعَةً مِنَ الضَّأْنِ
[Machine] We used to enjoy ourselves with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by slaughtering a cow for seven [people].
كُنَّا نَتَمَتَّعُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَذْبَحُ الْبَقَرَةَ عَنْ سَبْعَةٍ
[Machine] We slaughtered a horse during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while we were in Medina, and then we ate it.
ذَبَحْنَا فَرَسًا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَكَلْنَا
"There is no person who kills a small bird or anything larger for no just reason, but Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will ask him about it." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, what does just reason;' mean?" Her said: "That you slaughter it and eat it, and do not cut off its head and throw it aside." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4349)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ عُصْفُورًا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ سَأَلَهُ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَنْهُ قِيلَ وَمَا حَقُّهُ؟ قَالَ يَذْبَحُهُ فَيَأْكُلُهُ وَلَا يَقْطَعُ رَأْسَهُ فَيَرْمِي بِهِ
[Machine] "And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'And I slaughtered seven camels with my own hands while standing, and I slaughtered in Madinah two salted rams that were horned.'"
وَقَالَ وَنَحَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعَ بَدَنَاتٍ بِيَدِهِ قَائِمًا وَذَبَحَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ كَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ
