2815. It was reported from Hishām bin Zaid, who said: "I entered along with Anas upon Al-Ḥakam bin Ayyūb. He saw some youths — or boys — who had confined a chicken which they were shooting at. Anas said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prohibited confining an animal (to shoot at it).'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

٢٨١٥ - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، قَالَ: خَصْلَتَانِ سَمِعْتُهُمَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الْإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا - قَالَ غَيْرُ مُسْلِمٍ يَقُولُ: «فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ» - وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذَّبْحَ، وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ، وَلْيُرِحْ ذَبِيحَتَهُ "
