Hadith 4622

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ الْمِنْهَالِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ وَقَدْ نَصَبُوا دَجَاجَةً حَيَّةً يَرْمُونَهَا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَعَنَ مَنْ مَثَّلَ بِالْبَهَائِمِ " .
Saeed bin Jubair says that once Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) passed by some people and saw that some youths had tied up a live chicken and were aiming at it for target practice. Upon this, Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the person who mutilates an animal.
