27. Slaughtering
٢٧۔ كتاب الذبائح
“We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and a camel ran away. A man shot an arrow at it and the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘It has the inclination to run away like a wild animal. If this happens to any of you, do likewise.’”
كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَدَّ بَعِيرٌ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ لَهَا أَوَابِدَ أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا
“I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, should slaughtering only be done in the throat or upper chest?’ He said: ‘If you stab it in the thigh that will suffice you.’”
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَكُونُ الذَّكَاةُ إِلاَّ فِي الْحَلْقِ وَاللَّبَّةِ قَالَ لَوْ طَعَنْتَ فِي فَخِذِهَا لأَجْزَأَكَ
