حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سِمَاکِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ مُرِّيِّ بْنِ قَطَرِيٍّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ ابْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَصِيدُ الصَّيْدَ فَلَا نَجِدُ سِکِّينًا إِلَّا الظِّرَارَ وَشِقَّةَ الْعَصَا قَالَ أَمْرِرْ الدَّمَ بِمَا شِئْتَ وَاذْکُرْ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3177
It was narrated that 'Adi bin Hatim said: "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.’”
