Hadith 7886
اُردوEn
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.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In all the aforementioned ahadith, the examples of cruelty towards animals that have been presented are the amusements of thoughtless people, while in these amusements great cruelty is being inflicted upon animals. The Shari‘ah even commands kindness towards animals at the time of slaughter, meaning that such a method of slaughter should be adopted by which the animal feels the least possible pain. All such amusements are impermissible; making animals fight is also included in this.
