عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَمِدْتُ إِلَى عَنْزٍ لِأَذْبَحَهَا فَثَغَتْ فَسَمِعَ ثَغَاءَهَا فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ لَا تَقْطَعْ دَرًّا وَلَا نَسْلًا فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ عَتُودَةٌ عَلَفْتُهَا الْبَلَحَ وَالرُّطَبَ حَتَّى سَمِنَتْ
Syedna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us. I intended to slaughter a goat, and it made a sound. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard its sound and said: O Jabir! Do not slaughter a goat that gives milk and has offspring. I said: O Messenger of Allah! This goat is young; I have fattened it by feeding it unripe and moist dates.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … All the ahadith are clear in their meaning; there is no doubt that the most difficult stage for an animal is the moment of slaughter, but as much as possible, such a method should be adopted that causes it the least amount of pain.
