"مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسمُ اللهِ عَلَيه فَكُلُوه، لَيسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفُرَ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَن ذَلِكَ، أمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ، وَأَمَّا الظُّفُر فمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ".

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! We expect to meet the enemy tomorrow and we have no knives.' So the Prophet ﷺ said: 'As long as it causes blood to flow, and Allah's Name has been mentioned over it, then eat it, provided that it was not done with a tooth or nail. And I will tell you why: As for the tooth it is a bone, and as for the nail it is the knife of the Ethiopians.'"

“We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we are (sometimes) on military campaigns, and we have no knife with us.’ He said: ‘(Use) whatever causes the blood to flow, mention the Name of Allah and eat, but (do not use) teeth or nails, for the tooth is a bone and the nail is the knife of the Ethiopians.”
