ذِكْرُ الْقَصْدِ الَّذِي كَانَ لِأَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فِي اسْتِعْمَالِهِمُ الْخَيْرَ فِي أَنْسَابِهِمْ
[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my father used to maintain good relations with his relatives and continue to do so." He said, "If your father intended a matter, he would accomplish it, meaning the remembrance of Allah." I then said, "O Messenger of Allah, I ask you about a type of food that I do not avoid except with difficulty." He said, "Do not leave anything that the Christians consider prohibited." I said, "I send my dog to hunt, but I cannot find anything to slaughter the prey with except for Al-Marwah or Al-Asa (a type of wood used for hunting)." He said, "Command the blood (to flow) as you wish and mention the name of Allah."
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي كَانَ يَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ وَكَانَ يَفْعَلُ وَيَفْعَلُ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَبَاكَ أَرَادَ أَمْرًا فَأَدْرَكَهُ يَعْنِي الذِّكْرَ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ طَعَامٍ لَا أَدَعُهُ إِلَّا تَحَرُّجًا قَالَ «لَا تَدَعْ شَيْئًا ضَارَعْتَ النَّصْرَانِيَّةَ فِيهِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنِّي أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي فَيَأْخُذُ صَيْدًا وَلَا أَجِدُ مَا أَذْبَحُ بِهِ إِلَّا الْمَرْوَةَ أَوِ الْعَصَا؟ قَالَ «أَمِرَّ الدَّمَ بِمَا شِئْتَ وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ»
