حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ

قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَاقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَتْ مَعَنَا مُدًى قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَعْجِلْ أَوْ أَرْنِي مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ فَكُلْ لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفُرَ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ».

قَالَ وَأَصَبْنَا نَهْبَ إِبِلٍ وَغَنَمٍ فَنَدَّ مِنْهَا بَعِيرٌ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَحَبَسَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الإِبِلِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَإِذَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا»

Rafi ibn Khadij is reported to have said: the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), we are going to encounter the enemy tomorrow, but we have no knives with us. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Make haste or be careful (in making arrangements for procuring knives) which would let the blood flow (and along with it) the name of Allah is also to be recited.

Then eat, but not the tooth or nail. And I am going to tell you why it is not permissible to slaughter the animal with the help of tooth and bone; and as for the nail. it is a bone, and the bone is the knife of Abyssinians.

He (the narrator) said: There fell to our lot as spoils of war camels and goats, and one of the camels among them became wild. A person (amongst usl struck It with an arrow which brought it under control. whereupon the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: This camel became wild like wild animals, so if you find any animal getting wild, you do the same with that.

ইবনু আবূ উমর (রাযিঃ) ..... আবূ হুরায়রাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ জুমুআর দিন ইমামের খুতবাহ চলাকালে তুমি তোমার সার্থীকে যদি বল "চুপ কর" তবে, তুমি অনৰ্থক কাজ করলে। আবূয যিনাদ (রহঃ) বলেন, لَغِيتَ আবূ হুরায়রাহ (রাযিঃ) এর গোত্রের ভাষায়, আসলে তা হবে لَغَوْتَ (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন. ১৮৩৮, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

ابو زناد نے عرج سے انھوں نے حضرت ابو ہریرۃ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے اور انھوں نے نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے روایت کی آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فر ما یا : "" جمعے کے دن جب امام خطبہ دے رہا ہو ( اس وقت ) اگر تم نے اپنے ساتھی سے کہا : خا مو ش رہو تو تم نے ( خود ) شور مچا یا ۔

"" ابو زناد نے کہا : یہ ( فقد لغيت ) ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ( کے قبیلے ) کی لغت ہے جبکہ ( عام مروج لغت ) ( فقد لغوت ) ہے ۔

Dan Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Abu Umar] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] dari [Abu Zinad] dari [Al A'raj] dari [Abu Hurairah] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Apabila kamu mengatakan kepada temanmu pada hari Jum'at, 'Diamlah, ' padahal Imam sedang berkhutbah, maka sungguh kamu telah berbuat kesia-siaan." Abu Zinad berkata; Kata, 'FAQAD LAGHIITA' adalah menurut bahasanya Abu Hurairah, namun yang benar adalah, 'FAQAD LAGHAUTA

Bize İbni Ebî Ömer dahî rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Süfyân, Ebu'z-Zinâd'dan, o da A'rac'dan, o da Ebû Hureyre'den, o da Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'den naklen rivayet etti. Şöyle buyurmuşlar: «Cuma günü imam hutbe okurken arkadaşına (sus!) declinmi lagv yapmış olursun.» Ebû'z-Zinâd; «Bu (lağita) Ebu Hureyre'nin lügatidir. O(nun doğrusu) ancak Iâğavte'dir.» demiş

What it means

Rāfi‘ ibn Khadīj (may Allah be pleased with him) informed that they were with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) at Dhul-Hulayfah when the people were struck by hunger. They had captured camels and sheep as spoils of war from the polytheists. Acting hastily before the booty was divided, they slaughtered some of the animals and set up the pots without seeking permission from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), who was walking at the rear of the group, learned about this and ordered that the pots be overturned, spilling out the stock therein. Then he divided the spoils among them, deeming ten sheep equal to one camel. During this, a camel escaped, and they were unable to catch it.

With only a few horses available, one of the men shot it with an arrow, and Allah caused it to stop for them. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, these domestic animals have instincts like those of wild beasts. Whatever of them overcomes you and you are unable to catch them, deal with it in this manner.

Rāfi‘ said: We hope to encounter the enemy tomorrow and fear that using our weapons for slaughtering might dull their edges, while we are in urgent need of slaughtering, yet we have no knives. Can we slaughter using hollow reeds? The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever causes the blood to flow abundantly, and Allah's name is mentioned over it, then eat it—except for teeth and claws.

I will tell you about this: as for teeth, they are bones, and as for claws, they are used by the polytheists of Abyssinia.

What it teaches

  • Manifesting a glimpse of the Prophet’s humility through his walking at the rear of the army, his care for his Companions, his checking on their well-being, and his acceptance of their advice, may Allah be pleased with them.
  • The leader's disciplining his subjects and soldiers, as the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) disciplined them for their haste and actions before seeking his permission. Their consequence was deprivation of what they had wanted.
  • The Companions' quick response to the commands of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
  • The prohibition of taking from the spoils of war until they are distributed.
  • Justice, especially in the context of Jihad against the enemies and the disbelievers, for it is one of the causes of victory and triumph over the enemies.
  • An-Nawawi said: If a domestic animal such as a camel, cow, horse, or sheep becomes wild, or if it strays away, it is treated like a game, and it becomes lawful by shooting.
  • The slaughter of an animal is required to make it lawful to eat. Conditions to be fulfilled in the animal: 1. It must be permissible to eat. 2. It must be within one's ability to capture; an animal that cannot be captured is treated like a game. 3. It must be a land animal; however, for sea animals, slaughter is not required.
  • Conditions for the validity of slaughter: 1. The slaughterer must be qualified, meaning he should be rational, discerning, Muslim, or from the People of the Book. 2. The name of Allah must be mentioned at the beginning of the slaughter. 3. The slaughtering tool must be suitable, i.e., it must be sharp and made of any material except for teeth and nails. 4. The slaughter should be carried out by cutting the windpipe, the pharynx, and the jugular veins of the animal.
