Allah’s Apostle and I entered the house of Maimuna. A roasted mastigure was served. Allah’s
Apostle stretched his hand out (to eat of it) but some woman said, “Inform Allah’s Apostle of what he
is about to eat.” So they said, “It is mastigure, O Allah’s Apostle!” He withdrew his hand, whereupon I
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Is it unlawful?” He said, “No, but this is not found in the land of my people, so
I dislike it.” So I pulled the mastigure towards me and ate it while Allah’s Apostle was looking at me.

Volume 7, Book 67, Number 451:
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 Ethiopi –
ans.” The quick ones among the people got the war booty while the Prophet was behind the people.
So they placed the cooking pots on the fire, but the Prophet 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 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).”

Volume 7, Book 67, Number 452:
Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:
While we were with the Prophet. on a journey, one of the camels ran away. A man shot it with an
arrow and stopped it. The Prophet said, “Of these camels some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of
them runs away and you cannot catch it, then do like this (shoot it with an arrow).” I said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! Sometimes when we are in battles or on a journey we want to slaughter (animals) but we
have no knives.” He said, “Listen! 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, provided that the slaughtering
instrument is not a tooth or a nail, as the tooth is a bone and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians.”
