رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ أَتَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا نَخَافُ ، أَوْ إِنَّا نَرْجُوا أَنْ نَلْقَى الْعَدُوَّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مُدًى ، أَفَنَذْبَحُ بِالْقَصَبِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ ، وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ، فَكُلُوا لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفُرَ ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ ، فَأَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ ، وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ نَاضِحًا تَرَدَّى فِي بِئْرٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَذُكِّيَ مِنْ قِبَلِ شَاكِلَتِهِ يَعْنِي خَاصِرَتَهُ " فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَشِيرًا بِدِرْهَمَيْنِ .
Sayyiduna Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we were staying with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the lower part of Dhul-Hulaifah. The people obtained camels and goats (as spoils of war) and, acting hastily, began to cook them in pots before they were distributed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them and ordered the pots to be overturned. He considered ten goats equal to one camel. The narrator says: One of the camels ran away, so a man shot it with an arrow and stopped it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These animals also become wild like wild animals; if any of them overpowers you, then treat it in this way. Then Rafi’ bin Khadij came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! We fear, or we hope, that tomorrow (i.e., in the near future) we will face the enemy. We do not have knives; can we slaughter with a sharp-edged bamboo? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever causes blood to flow, except for teeth and nails, and Allah’s name is mentioned upon the slaughtered animal, then eat it. I will tell you the reason: the tooth is a bone, and the nail is the knife of the Abyssinians. Then he (Rafi’) said: A camel fell into a well in Madinah, so it was slaughtered from its back. Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) bought a tenth part of it for two dirhams.
