English translation

2814. It was reported from Shaddād bin Aws who said: "There are two things I heard from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: 'Indeed Allāh has ordained Ihsān (beneficence) in everything; so when you kill, then do it in the best manner.'" — Other narrators aside from Muslim said: "So kill in a good manner," — "and when you slaughter, then do it in the best manner, and let one of you sharpen his knife and provide comfort to the animal." (Sahih)

٢٨١٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْخَيَّاطُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ: ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا ثَوْبَانُ أَصْلِحْ لَنَا لَحْمَ هَذِهِ الشَّاةِ». قَالَ: فَمَا زِلْتُ أُطْعِمُهُ مِنْهَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ
