Hadith text

Narrated Rait' bin Khadij:I said to the Prophet, "We will be facing the enemy tomorrow and we have no knives (for slaughtering)' He said, "If you slaughter the animal with anything that causes its blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it, unless the killing instrument is a tooth or nail. I will tell you why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of Ethiopians." The quick ones among the people got the war booty while the Prophet (ﷺ) was behind the people. So they placed the cooking pots on the fire, but the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered the cooking pots to be turned upside down. Then he distributed (the war booty) among them, considering one camel as equal to ten sheep. Then a camel belonging to the first party of people ran away and they had no horses with them, so a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Of these animals there are some which are as wild as wild beasts. So, if anyone of them runs away like this, do like this (shoot it with an arrow)

Rafi' bin Khadij bataate hain: Maine Nabi (SAW) se kaha, 'Hum kal dushman ka saamna karenge aur hamare paas (zibah karne ke liye) chaqoo nahi hai.' Unhone kaha, 'Agar tum jaanwar ko kisi bhi aisi cheez se zibah karo jo uska khoon bahaaye, aur zibah karte waqt Allah ka naam liya gaya ho, to use khaao, siwaaye is ke ke zibah karne wala hathiyaar daant ya naakhoon ho. Main tumhein bataata hoon kyun: Daant ek haddi hai, aur naakhoon Habshiyon ka chaqoo hai.' Jaldi karne wale logon ne maal-e-ganimat le liya jabke Nabi (SAW) logon se peeche the. To unhone deg chulhe par rakh di, magar Nabi (SAW) ne hukm diya ke degein ulat di jaayein. Phir unhone (maal-e-ganimat) unke beech baanta, ek oont ko das bakriyon ke barabar maante hue. Phir pehle giroh ka ek oont bhaag gaya aur unke paas ghode nahi the, to ek shaks ne use teer se maara jispar Allah ne use rok diya. Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Inmein se kuch jaanwar jangli jaanwaron jaise hote hain. To agar unmein se koi is tarah bhaag jaaye, to isi tarah karo (teer se maaro).'
