حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ ، قَالَ : " ذَبَحْتُ أَرْنَبَيْنِ بِمَرْوَةٍ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِمَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَمَرَنِي بِأَكْلِهِمَا " .
´It was narrated that Muhammad bin Saifi said:` “I slaughtered two rabbits with a sharp-edges stone and brought them to the Prophet (ﷺ), and he told me to eat them.”

➌
Among the common people, it is widely believed that slaughter should only be done with a knife that has a wooden handle and three nails in it, etc. All such notions are baseless.
