"While we were with the Messenger of Allah at Dhul-Hulaifah in Tihamanb, they acquired some camels and sheep (as spoils of war). The Messenger of Allah was among the last of the people, and the first of them hastened to slaughter (the animals) and set up pots (For cooking the meat). The Messenger of Allah came and ordered that the pots be came and ordered that the pots be overturned, then he divided it making ten sheep equivalent to one camel. While they were like that, a camel ran away. The people had only a few horses, so they went after fit and it and it got away from them. A man shot an arrow at it and stopped it. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Some of these animals arte untamed like wild animals, so if one of them goes out of your control, do the same."

My grandfather said, "We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ at Dhul-Hulaifa. The people felt hungry and captured some camels and sheep (as booty). The Prophet ﷺ was behind the people. They hurried and slaughtered the animals and put their meat in pots and started cooking it. (When the Prophet came) he ordered the pots to be upset and then he distributed the animals (of the booty), regarding ten sheep as equal to one camel. One of the camels fled and the people ran after it till they were exhausted. At that time there were few horses. A man threw an arrow at the camel, and Allah stopped the camel with it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Some of these animals are like wild animals, so if you lose control over one of these animals, treat it in this way (i.e. shoot it with an arrow)." Before distributing them among the soldiers my grandfather said, "We may meet the enemies in the future and have no knives; can we slaughter the animals with reeds?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Use whatever causes blood to flow, and eat the animals if the name of Allah has been mentioned on slaughtering them. Do not slaughter with teeth or fingernails and I will tell you why: It is because teeth are bones (i.e. cannot cut properly) and fingernails are the tools used by the Ethiopians (whom we should not imitate for they are infidels).

We were with the Prophet ﷺ in Dhul-Hulaifa and there the people were struck with severe hunger. Then we got camels and sheep as war booty (and slaughtered them). The Prophet ﷺ was behind all the people. The people hurried and fixed the cooking pots (for cooking) but the Prophet ﷺ came there and ordered that the cooking pots be turned upside down. Then he distributed the animals, regarding ten sheep as equal to one camel. One of the camels ran away and there were a few horses with the people. They chased the camel but they got tired, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Among these animals some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them runs away from you, treat it in this way." I said. "We hope, or we are afraid that tomorrow we will meet the enemy and we have no knives, shall we slaughter (our animals) with canes?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "If the killing tool causes blood to gush out and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughterer animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I am telling you why: A tooth is a bone, and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians."

[Machine] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Dhi al-Hulayfah from Tihamah, the people were hungry, so they managed to obtain sheep and camels. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at the end of the people, so they hurried and slaughtered the animals and cooked the pots. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them and commanded for the pots to be piled up and they were filled with the meat. Then he divided ten sheep for one camel. Among the people, there was a camel that got tired and they sought it, so a man shot it with an arrow and captured it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, these animals have owners, just like wild animals have owners. What is taken from them is for you to use in this way." We said, "We fear or hope that we might encounter the enemy tomorrow and we don't have any means. Should we slaughter it with a piece of wood?" He said, "As long as the blood is drained and the name of Allah is mentioned upon it, then everything except for the teeth and the hoofs can be eaten. I will inform you about that. As for the teeth, they are bones and as for the hoofs, they are the measurement of a Habasha adornment."

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Dhu al-Hulayfah when camels and sheep were injured. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at the end of the people, so they hurried and slaughtered. They made pots and the Prophet ﷺ sent them the pots. He commanded them to boil it, and it softened. Then he divided ten sheep into camels. There were camels among the people that were weak, so they asked for it, but they were tired. A man approached it with an arrow and shot it, so it was captured. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, these animals have offspring like the offspring of wild beasts, so take what you need from them and do it like this." My grandfather said: "We hope or fear that we will meet the enemy tomorrow, and we have no supply. Shall we slaughter with a bone?" So he said: "It does not drain the blood, and the name of Allah is mentioned upon it. So eat, except for the teeth and nails." I will inform you about that. As for the teeth, it is made of bone, and as for the nails, it is the length of a habasha (Ethiopian).

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Dhi al-Hulayfah from Tihamah, and we acquired sheep and camels. The people hastened before the distribution, so they cooked the pots and the Prophet ﷺ came. He ordered they be emptied and then he took a tenth of the sheep using a knife. Then a camel called out, and there was no one in the people except for a few horses. A man shot an arrow at him and captured him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, these animals have leaders like the leaders of the wild animals. What has overcome you, do the same with it."

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and the people hurried ahead to collect the spoils of war. They cooked food, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at the back. They passed by some cauldrons and he ordered them to be filled. Then he distributed the food among them and also gave one of the camels ten shares. But a camel from the tribe's camels rebelled and a man shot it with an arrow, killing it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "These animals have owners, just like the wild animals have. So treat them accordingly."

"While we were with the Messenger of Allah at Dhul-Hulaifah in Tihamanb, they acquired some camels and sheep (as spoils of war). The Messenger of Allah was among the last of the people, and the first of them hastened to slaughter (the animals) and set up pots (For cooking the meat). The Messenger of Allah came and ordered that the pots be came and ordered that the pots be overturned, then he divided it making ten sheep equivalent to one camel. While they were like that, a camel ran away. The people had only a few horses, so they went after fit and it and it got away from them. A man shot an arrow at it and stopped it. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Some of these animals arte untamed like wild animals, so if one of them goes out of your control, do the same." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4297)
