Sahih al-Bukhari 5498
Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij:
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."
حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ، فَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ جُوعٌ، فَأَصَبْنَا إِبِلاً وَغَنَمًا، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي أُخْرَيَاتِ النَّاسِ، فَعَجِلُوا فَنَصَبُوا الْقُدُورَ، فَدُفِعَ إِلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَمَرَ بِالْقُدُورِ فَأُكْفِئَتْ، ثُمَّ قَسَمَ فَعَدَلَ عَشَرَةً مِنَ الْغَنَمِ بِبَعِيرٍ، فَنَدَّ مِنْهَا بَعِيرٌ، وَكَانَ فِي الْقَوْمِ خَيْلٌ يَسِيرَةٌ فَطَلَبُوهُ فَأَعْيَاهُمْ، فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَحَبَسَهُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ، فَمَا نَدَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَقَالَ جَدِّي إِنَّا لَنَرْجُو ـ أَوْ نَخَافُ ـ أَنْ نَلْقَى الْعَدُوَّ غَدًا، وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مُدًى، أَفَنَذْبَحُ بِالْقَصَبِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَكُلْ، لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفُرَ، وَسَأُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْهُ، أَمَّا السِّنُّ عَظْمٌ وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏
