Hadith 5247

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ نَصَبُوا دَجَاجَةً يَرْمُونَهَا بِالنَّبْلِ ، فَقَالَ : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُمَثَّلَ بِالْبَهِيمَةِ " .
Saeed bin Jubair says that once, on a road in Madinah Munawwarah, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) passed by some people and saw that they had tied up a chicken and were practicing their aim on it. Upon this, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade mutilating animals.
