عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَبْرِ الدَّابَّةِ قَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ لَوْ كَانَتْ لِي دَجَاجَةٌ مَا صَبَرْتُهَا
Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade tying a living animal and using it as a target for shooting. Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) says: If I had a chicken, I would not tie it.
