Hadith 3180

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ جَمِيعًا ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَأَخَذَ الشَّفْرَةَ لِيَذْبَحَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِيَّاكَ وَالْحَلُوبَ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to a man from among the Ansar who had picked up a knife to slaughter an animal for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him:` “Avoid those that are lactating.” (i.e. those from which milk is received).

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Serving the guest appropriately is a virtue of a Muslim.

➋ If a cow, buffalo, goat, or similar animal gives milk, slaughtering it causes the loss of this benefit, whereas meat can be obtained from another animal as well. Therefore, it is better to slaughter an animal that does not give milk.
