72. Hunting, Slaughtering
٧٢۔ كتاب الذبائح والصيد
Anas and I went to Al-Hakam bin Aiyub. Anas saw some boys shooting at a tied hen. Anas said, "The Prophet has forbidden the shooting of tied or confined animals."
دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَنَسٍ عَلَى الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ فَرَأَى غِلْمَانًا أَوْ فِتْيَانًا نَصَبُوا دَجَاجَةً يَرْمُونَهَا فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ تُصْبَرَ الْبَهَائِمُ
that he entered upon Yahya bin Saʿid while one of Yahya's sons was aiming at a hen after tying it. Ibn ʿUmar walked to it and untied it. Then he brought it and the boy and said. "Prevent your boys from tying the birds for the sake of killing them, as I have heard the Prophet ﷺ forbidding the killing of an animal or other living thing after tying them."
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَغُلاَمٌ مِنْ بَنِي يَحْيَى رَابِطٌ دَجَاجَةً يَرْمِيهَا فَمَشَى إِلَيْهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ حَتَّى حَلَّهَا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِهَا وَبِالْغُلاَمِ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ ازْجُرُوا غُلاَمَكُمْ عَنْ أَنْ يَصْبِرَ هَذَا الطَّيْرَ لِلْقَتْلِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ تُصْبَرَ بَهِيمَةٌ أَوْ غَيْرُهَا لِلْقَتْلِ
While I was with Ibn ʿUmar, we passed by a group of young men who had tied a hen and started shooting at it. When they saw Ibn ʿUmar, they dispersed, leaving it. On that Ibn ʿUmar said, "Who has done this? The Prophet ﷺ cursed the one who did so." Narrated Ibn ʿUmar: The Prophet ﷺ cursed the one who did Muthla to an animal (i e., cut its limbs or some other part of its body while it is still alive).
وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَعَنَ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنِ النُّهْبَةِ وَالْمُثْلَةِ
