that he said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We have no knife." The Prophet ﷺ said, "if the killing tool causes blood to gush out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a nail or a tooth, for the nail is the knife of Ethiopians and a tooth is a bone." Suddenly a camel ran away and it was stopped (with an arrow). The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts; so if one of them runs away from you and you cannot catch it, treat it in this manner (i.e. shoot it with an arrow).

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ لَنَا مُدًى فَقَالَ مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ فَكُلْ لَيْسَ الظُّفُرَ وَالسِّنَّ أَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ وَأَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ وَنَدَّ بَعِيرٌ فَحَبَسَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الإِبِلِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا هَكَذَا

I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We are going to face the enemy tomorrow and we do not have knives." He said, "Hurry up (in killing the animal). If the killing tool causes blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I will tell you why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of Ethiopians." Then we got some camels and sheep as war booty, and one of those camels ran away, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow and stopped it. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them (runs away and) makes you tired, treat it in this manner."

While we were with the Prophet. on a journey, one of the camels ran away. A man shot it with an arrow and stopped it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Of these camels some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them runs away and you cannot catch it, then do like this (shoot it with an arrow)." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Sometimes when we are in battles or on a journey we want to slaughter (animals) but we have no knives." He said, "Listen! If you slaughter the animal with anything that causes its blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it, provided that the slaughtering instrument is not a tooth or a nail, as the tooth is a bone and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians."

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, tomorrow we will encounter the enemy, but we do not have provisions." He (the Messenger) said, "What prohibits the blood from flowing, and the Name of Allah is mentioned upon it, then everything is permissible except for the tooth and nail. (Then) I will inform you about the tooth, it is a bone, and as for the nail, it is the length of a habsah (a measurement)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ obtained some camels as spoils of war, so a man from the people threw an arrow hitting it, and he killed it. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ confiscated it and said, "Indeed, these camels have (many) descendants, like the descendants of the wild animals. So when something from them defeats you, do this." He said, "And the Prophet ﷺ used to distribute one-tenth of the booty in sheep, by means of a camel." And Muhammad narrated to me, and I had also heard from Sufyan, this letter (the Harf)

If the killing tool causes blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I will tell you why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of Ethiopians." Then we got some camels and sheep as war booty, and one of those camels ran away, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow and stopped it. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them (runs away and) makes you tired, treat it in this manner." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5509)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٤٤٨٤أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا لَاقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَتْ مَعَنَا مُدًى قَالَ «مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ ﷻ فَكُلْ لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفْرَ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ وَأَصَبْنَا نُهْبَةَ إِبِلٍ أَوْ غَنَمٍ فَنَدَّ مِنْهَا بَعِيرٌ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَحَبَسَهُ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الْإِبِلِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَإِذَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَافْعَلُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا»
