Hadith 3973

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، قَالَ : سَأَلَ مَيْمُونُ بْنُ سِيَاهٍ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ ، مَا يُحَرِّمُ دَمَ الْمُسْلِمِ , وَمَالَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ : " مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، وَاسْتَقْبَلَ قِبْلَتَنَا وَصَلَّى صَلَاتَنَا ، وَأَكَلَ ذَبِيحَتَنَا , فَهُوَ مُسْلِمٌ لَهُ مَا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَلَيْهِ مَا عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ " .
´Maimun bin Siyah asked Anas bin Malik:` "O Abu Hamzah, what makes the blood and wealth of a Muslim forbidden?" He said: "Whoever bears witness to La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah) and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah [SAW], faces our Qiblah, prays as we pray, and eats our slaughtered animals, he is a Muslim, and has the same rights and obligations as the Muslims."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Among the signs of a person's being a Muslim is also this: that he eats the slaughtered meat (dhabihah) of Muslims, because the People of the Book and other non-Muslims dislike eating the slaughtered meat of Muslims.
