Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Hazrat Adi that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! My father used to maintain ties of kinship and do such and such deeds." The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Your father had one objective (fame) which he achieved." It is narrated from Hazrat Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! When we hunt, sometimes we do not find a knife, only a sharp stone or a stick with a sharp edge is available, so what should we do?" The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Take the name of Allah and shed blood with whatever you wish." I submitted, "I ask you about that food which I leave only out of necessity." The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Do not leave anything in which you appear to resemble Christianity."
