Takhrij:
«أخرجه مسلم، الصيد والذبائح، باب النهي عن صبر البهائم، حديث:1957.»©Explanation:
From this hadith, it is understood that it is forbidden (haram) to tie up an animal and shoot arrows or the like at it, because this causes it severe pain.
Islamic law (Shari‘ah) is not in favor of causing harm or pain even to animals.
