“And certainly, the Shayatin
(devils)
do inspire their friends (from mankind).” [6:121] He said:
“They
used to say: ‘Whatever the Name of Allah has been mentioned
over,
do not eat it, and whatever the Name of Allah has not been
mentioned
over, eat it.’ Then Allah said: “Eat not of that over which
Allah’s Name has not been pronounced.’” [6:121]
“O Messenger of Allah, some people bring us meat, and
we
do not know whether the Name of Allah has been mentioned over it
or
not.” He said: “Say: Bismillah and eat.’ They were new in
Islam.
Chapter 5: With what animals may be slaughtered - كتاب الذبائح
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، سَمِعْتُ حَاضِرَ بْنَ مُهَاجِرٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَّ ذِئْبًا، نَيَّبَ فِي شَاةٍ فَذَبَحُوهَا بِمَرْوَةٍ فَرَخَّصَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي أَكْلِهَا .
It was
narrated from Zaid bin Thabit that a wolf bit a sheep, and
they
slaughtered it with a sharp-edged stone, and the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) allowed them to eat it.
“I said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah, we hunt game but we cannot find anything but the sharp edge of
a stone or stick (with which to slaughter it).’ He said: ‘Cause
the
blood to flow with whatever you want, and mention the Name of
Allah
over it.’”
“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.”
Chapter 6: Skinning (the slaughtered animals) - كتاب الذبائح
It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) passed by a boy who was skinning a sheep. The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said to him:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِلاَلُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، - قَالَ عَطَاءٌ لاَ أَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ - أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَرَّ بِغُلاَمٍ يَسْلُخُ شَاةً فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " تَنَحَّ حَتَّى أُرِيَكَ " . فَأَدْخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ الْجِلْدِ وَاللَّحْمِ فَدَحَسَ بِهَا حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ إِلَى الإِبْطِ وَقَالَ " يَا غُلاَمُ هَكَذَا فَاسْلُخْ " . ثُمَّ مَضَى وَصَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ .
“Step aside and I will show you how.”
The Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) put his hand between the skin and the
flesh, and thrust
his arm in until it disappeared up to the armpit,
and said: “O boy,
this is how you skin it.” Then he went and led
the people in prayer
and did not perform Wudu’.
Chapter 7: Prohibition of slaughtering lactating animals - كتاب الذبائح
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
came to
a man from among the Ansar who had picked up a knife to
slaughter an
animal for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ)
said to him:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَتَى رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَأَخَذَ الشَّفْرَةَ لِيَذْبَحَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" إِيَّاكَ وَالْحَلُوبَ " .
“Avoid those that are lactating.” (i.e. those
from
which milk is received).
Chapter 7: Prohibition of slaughtering lactating animals - كتاب الذبائح
Abu
Hurairah narrated that Abu Bakr bin Abu Quhafah narrated that the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him and to ‘Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ لَهُ وَلِعُمَرَ " انْطَلِقُوا بِنَا إِلَى الْوَاقِفِيِّ " . قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا فِي الْقَمَرِ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْحَائِطَ فَقَالَ مَرْحَبًا وَأَهْلاً . ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الشَّفْرَةَ ثُمَّ جَالَ فِي الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِيَّاكَ وَالْحَلُوبَ " . أَوْ قَالَ " ذَاتَ الدَّرِّ " .
“Let us go out
to
Waqifi.” He said: “So we went out in the moonlight until we
came to
the garden and he (the owner of the garden) said: ‘Welcome.’
Then he
took up the knife and went among the sheep (to choose one for
slaughter), and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Avoid those
that
are lactating.’”
Chapter 8: An animal slaughtered by a woman - كتاب الذبائح
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنٍ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، ذَبَحَتْ شَاةً بِحَجَرٍ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَلَمْ يَرَ بِهِ بَأْسًا .
It was
narrated from a son of Ka’b bin Malik, from his father, that a
woman slaughtered a sheep with a stone, and that was mentioned to the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), but he did not see anything wrong with
that.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَدَّ بَعِيرٌ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" إِنَّ لَهَا أَوَابِدَ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ - كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا " .
“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.’”
“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.’”
Chapter 13: The flesh of domesticated donkeys - كتاب الذبائح
It was
narrated that Abu Ishaq Shaibani said:
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ، فَقَالَ أَصَابَتْنَا مَجَاعَةٌ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَقَدْ أَصَابَ الْقَوْمُ حُمُرًا خَارِجًا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَنَحَرْنَاهَا وَإِنَّ قُدُورَنَا لَتَغْلِي إِذْ نَادَى مُنَادِي النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنِ اكْفَئُوا الْقُدُورَ وَلاَ تَطْعَمُوا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ شَيْئًا . فَأَكْفَأْنَاهَا . فَقُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى حَرَّمَهَا تَحْرِيمًا قَالَ تَحَدَّثْنَا أَنَّمَا حَرَّمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَلْبَتَّةَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهَا تَأْكُلُ الْعَذِرَةَ .
“I asked ‘Abdullah bin
Abu
Awfa about the flesh of domesticated donkeys and he said: ‘We were
starving on the Day of Khaibar, when we were with the Prophet (ﷺ).
The people had gotten some donkeys as spoils of war on the way out
from Al-Madinah, so we slaughtered them and our cooking pots were
boiling when the caller of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cried out,
telling us to overturn out pots and not to eat anything of the flesh
of donkeys. So we overturned them.’ I said to ‘Abdullah bin Abu
Awfa:
‘Was it made unlawful?’ He said: ‘We think that the
Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) forbade it altogether because it eats
excrement.’”
Chapter 13: The flesh of domesticated donkeys - كتاب الذبائح
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ الْكِنْدِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حَرَّمَ أَشْيَاءَ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ الْحُمُرَ الإِنْسِيَّةَ .
It was
narrated from Miqdam bin Ma’dikarib Al-Kindi that the
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) forbade several things, until he mentioned
(the meat of)
domesticated donkeys.
Chapter 13: The flesh of domesticated donkeys - كتاب الذبائح
It was
narrated that Bara’ bin ‘Azib said:
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنْ نُلْقِيَ لُحُومَ الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ نِيئَةً وَنَضِيجَةً ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا بِهِ بَعْدُ .
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) commanded us to throw away the meat of domesticated donkeys,
raw
or cooked, then he did not say anything to us about it after
that.”
Chapter 13: The flesh of domesticated donkeys - كتاب الذبائح
It was
narrated that Salamah bin Akwa’ said:
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ غَزْوَةَ خَيْبَرَ فَأَمْسَى النَّاسُ قَدْ أَوْقَدُوا النِّيرَانَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " عَلاَمَ تُوقِدُونَ " . قَالُوا عَلَى لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الإِنْسِيَّةِ فَقَالَ " أَهْرِيقُوا مَا فِيهَا وَاكْسِرُوهَا " . فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ أَوْ نُهَرِيقُ مَا فِيهَا وَنَغْسِلُهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " أَوْ ذَاكَ " .
“We went out with the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the campaign of Khaibar, and in the
evening the people lit their fires. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘What
are
you cooking?’ They said: ‘The meat of domesticated donkeys.’
He said:
‘Throw out what is in them (the pots) and break them.’ A
man said: ‘Or
can we throw out what is in them and wash them?’
The Prophet (ﷺ)
said: ‘Or (do) that.’”
