Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

An elder of Banu Haritha narrates that a camel got stuck in a spring. People asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) about this, so he said: "Strike it with a spear and eat it."

Hazrat Masruq narrates that a camel fell into a well in such a way that its lower part came upwards. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to cut its limbs and eat it.

Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib says that if a camel falls into a well, then in whatever way possible, say Bismillah and strike it with a spear.

The father of Hazrat Abu Al-Ash'ara reports: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Is it necessary to cut the throat and jugular vein for slaughter?" He replied, "If you strike its thigh with a spear, that is also sufficient."

Hazrat Ubayyah narrates that once, in the presence of Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), a camel became unruly. A man wanted to slaughter it by nahr, but he was unable to do so. Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "Take the name of Allah and strike it with a spear in its side." He did so. A piece of meat was taken from that camel, which Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) bought for two or four dirhams.

Hazrat Masrooq says that if a very large camel falls into a well and gets stuck, then cut it into pieces and eat it.

Hazrat Abu Rashid Salmani narrates that I was grazing my pregnant she-camels near Kufa when one camel got badly stuck in the water. I was afraid that it would die before I could slaughter it, so I took a piece of iron and struck it on its back or its hump. Then I cut it into pieces and gave it to my family. But after hearing the whole story, they refused to eat it. I went to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and stood at the door of his palace and called out: O Commander of the Faithful! O Commander of the Faithful! Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "I am here, I am here." I told him the whole matter, and he said, "Eat it, and give me the meat from its hind part."

Hazrat Shurayh and Hazrat Masruq used to say that if a camel falls into a well and it is not possible to slaughter it by nahr, then strike it with a knife; this is its slaughtering.
