Sayyiduna Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man slaughtered his she-camel with a tree stump (that is, a piece of wood). He asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded those people to eat its meat.
Ahmad recorded it.
Al-Bazzar recorded this from Sayyiduna Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him): He slaughtered a camel with a tree trunk. He asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, and he asked: Did it make the blood flow? He replied: Yes! So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that man to eat it (that is, permitted him). The narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih, except that this is a report of Yahya bin Abi Kathir from Sayyiduna Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him).
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A woman was grazing the goats of the family of Ka'b bin Malik near the mountain of Sal'. She feared that one of the goats was about to die, so she slaughtered it with a stone. This was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he ordered them to eat its meat.
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it, and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, but he recorded it with these words: It is reported from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about a slave girl who had slaughtered an animal with a sharp sliver of reed, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat it." The narrators of Ahmad and al-Bazzar are the narrators of the Sahih.
Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I slaughtered a goat with a peg. I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have slaughtered a goat with a peg." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat it."
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy). In one narration in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir the wording is: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate from the meat of that goat.
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Slaughter with anything that cuts the jugular veins, except for the tooth and the nail."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Abdullah bin Khirash, whom Ibn Hibban declared thiqah (trustworthy), and he said: "He sometimes made mistakes." The majority declared him da'if (weak).
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A slave girl of Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud Uqbah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) was grazing goats. One of the goats was about to die, so the slave girl broke off a piece of stone and slaughtered the goat with it. Then she brought it to Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) and told him about it. He said: "Take it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), just as you are." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the woman: "Did you cut the jugular veins?" She replied: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Anything that cuts the jugular veins, provided it is not a tooth or a nail (is permissible)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains Ali bin Yazid, who is da'if (weak), though he has also been declared trustworthy.
Zirr bin Hubaysh narrates: The people of Madinah went out for an occasion of theirs, and I saw a man who was bald at the front and worked equally with both hands; he stood a cubit taller than the people. He was wearing a lower garment and had a cloak over him, and he was saying: "O people, set out, and do not say anything improper. Let none of you strike a rabbit with a stick or a stone and then eat it; rather, slaughter with small or large spears." I asked: "Who is this?" The people said: "This is Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy.
