حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ أَخْبَرَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَنَّ جَارِيَةً لِکَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ تَرْعَی غَنَمًا لَهُ بِالْجُبَيْلِ الَّذِي بِالسُّوقِ وَهُوَ بِسَلْعٍ فَأُصِيبَتْ شَاةٌ فَکَسَرَتْ حَجَرًا فَذَبَحَتْهَا بِهِ فَذَکَرُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَکْلِهَا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 5503
Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij: that he said, "O Allah's Apostle! We have no knife." The Prophet said, "if the killing tool causes blood to gush out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a nail or a tooth, for the nail is the knife of Ethiopians and a tooth is a bone." Suddenly a camel ran away and it was stopped (with an arrow). The Prophet then said, "Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts; so if one of them runs away from you and you cannot catch it, treat it in this manner (i.e. shoot it with an arrow).
