Hadith 7602
عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ ثِنْتَانِ حَفِظْتُهُمَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَتَبَ الْإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذَّبْحَ وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ وَلْيُرِحْ ذَبِيحَتَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I have remembered two things from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has made excellence obligatory in everything, so when you kill (out of necessity), kill in a good manner, and when you slaughter, slaughter in a good manner. Sharpen your knife and give comfort to the animal being slaughtered.
Hadith 7603
عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِحَدِّ الشِّفَارِ وَأَنْ تُوَارَى عَنِ الْبَهَائِمِ وَإِذَا ذَبَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُجْهِزْ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the knife be sharpened and kept hidden from the animals, and also said that when any of you slaughters an animal, he should do so quickly.
Hadith 7604
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ ذَبَحَ عُصْفُورًا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ سَأَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قِيلَ وَمَا حَقُّهُ قَالَ يَذْبَحُهُ ذَبْحًا وَلَا يَأْخُذُ بِعُنُقِهِ فَيَقْطَعَهُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever slaughters a sparrow without right, Allah Almighty will question him about it on the Day of Resurrection. Someone asked: What is its right? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It should be slaughtered, and its neck should not be held in such a way that it is completely severed.
Hadith 7605
عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَذْبَحُ الشَّاةَ وَأَنَا أَرْحَمُهَا أَوْ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرْحَمُ الشَّاةَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَهَا فَقَالَ وَالشَّاةُ إِنْ رَحِمْتَهَا رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Qurrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said: O Messenger of Allah! I slaughter a goat and I feel pity for it as I am slaughtering it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you show mercy to the goat, Allah will show mercy to you.
Hadith 7606
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.
