English translation

2829. It was reported from Hishām bin 'Urwah, from his father, from 'Aishah, who said — and Hammād and Mālik (two of the narrators) did not mention: "from 'Aishah" — that they (the people) said: "O Messenger of Allāh! There are people here who are recent converts from Jāhiliyyah, and they bring us meat. We do not know whether the Name of Allāh has been mentioned upon it or not, can we eat from it?" The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Mention Allāh's Name and eat it." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2829 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، وَمُحَاضِرٌ الْمَعْنَى، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرَا عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، وَمَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ قَوْمًا حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِالْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَأْتُونَ بِلُحْمَانٍ لَا نَدْرِي أَذَكَرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا أَمْ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا، أَفَنَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «سَمُّوا اللَّهَ وَكُلُوا»

Commentary

It is unlawful to deliberately omit pronouncing Allāh's Name at the time of slaughter. To omit it through forgetfulness is, however, pardonable, and there should be no doubt about the legality and permissibility of such slaughter.
