English

Volume 7, Book 67, Number 411:
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)."
