Narrates ‘Abdullah bin Mughaffal:
While we were besieging the castle of Khaibar, Somebody threw a skin full of fat and I went ahead
to take it, but on looking behind, I saw the Prophet and I felt shy in his presence (and did not take it).
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 417:
Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:
I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We are going to face the enemy tomorrow and we do not have knives.”
He said, “Hurry up (in killing the animal). If the killing tool causes blood to flow out, and if Allah’s
Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I will
tell you why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of Ethiopians.” Then we
got some camels and sheep as war booty, and one of those camels ran away, whereupon a man shot
it with an arrow and stopped it. Allah’s Apostle said, “Of these camels there are some which are as
wild as wild beasts, so if one of them (runs away and) makes you tired, treat it in this manner.”

I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We let loose our trained hounds after a game?” He said, “Eat what they
hunt for you.” I said, “Even if they killed (the game)?” He replied, ‘Even if they killed (the game).” I
said, ‘We also hit (the game) with the Mi’rad?” He said, “Eat of the animal which the Mi’rad kills by
piercing its body, but do not eat of the animal which is killed by the broad side of the Mi’rad.”

The Prophet sent us as an army unit of three hundred warriors under the command of Abu

huge fish called Al-‘Anbar and we ate of it for half a month and rubbed our bodies with its fat till
our bodies became healthy. Then Abu Ubaida took one of its ribs and fixed it over the ground and a
rider passed underneath it. There was a man amongst us who slaughtered three camels when hun –
ger became severe, and he slaughtered three more, but after that Abu ‘Ubaida forbade him to do so.

Narrated Abu Tha’laba Al-Khushani:
I said, “O Allah’s Prophet! We are living in a land ruled by the people of the Scripture; Can we take
our meals in their utensils? In that land there is plenty of game and I hunt the game with my bow
and with my hound that is not trained and with my trained hound. Then what is lawful for me to
eat?” He said, “As for what you have mentioned about the people of the Scripture, if you can get
utensils other than theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if you cannot get other than theirs, wash their
utensils and eat out of it. If you hunt an animal with your bow after mentioning Allah’s Name, eat of
it. and if you hunt something with your trained hound after mentioning Allah’s Name, eat of it, and if
you hunt something with your untrained hound (and get it before it dies) and slaughter it, eat of it.”
