Al-Adab al-Mufrad 1232 — Inciting animals against each other
حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيِّ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يُحَرِّشَ بَيْنَ الْبَهَائِمِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he disliked making animals fight with each other.
