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.”

of Al-Ash’ariyin, and met him while he was angry, distributing some camels of Rakat. We asked for
mounts but he took an oath that he would not give us any mounts, and added, ‘I have nothing to
mount you on’ In the meantime some camels of booty were brought to Allah’s Apostle and he asked
twice, ‘Where are Al-Ash’ariyin?” So he gave us five white camels with big humps. We stayed for a
short while (after we had covered a little distance), and then I said to my companions, “Allah’s
Apostle has forgotten his oath. By Allah, if we do not remind Allah’s Apostle of his oath, we will never
be successful.” So we returned to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We asked you for mounts,
but you took an oath that you would not give us any mounts; we think that you have forgotten your
oath.’ He said, ‘It is Allah Who has given you mounts. By Allah, and Allah willing, if I take an oath
and later find something else better than that. then I do what is better and expiate my oath.’ “
