Sahih Ibn Hibban 5884 — Command to sharpen the blade and be gentle
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ بِالْبَصْرَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلابَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ ، قَالَ : ثِنْتَانِ حَفِظْتُهُمَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ، فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ ، وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذَّبْحَ ، وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ ، وَلْيُرِحْ ذَبِيحَتَهُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ : أَرَادَ بِقَوْلِهِ : " أَحْسَنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ " فِي الْقِصَاصِ .
Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I have memorized two things from the words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): (He, peace be upon him, said:) "Indeed, Allah has prescribed excellence in everything. So when you kill, kill in the best manner, and when you slaughter, slaughter in the best manner. You should sharpen your knife and give comfort to your sacrificial animal."
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Kill in the best manner," means: when you kill in retribution (qisas), do not cause pain.
