5503. Narrated Rāfi' bin Khadīj that he said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We have no knife." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If the killing tool causes blood to gush out, and if Allāh's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a nail or a tooth, for the nail is the knife of Ethiopians and a tooth is a bone." Suddenly a camel ran away and it was stopped (with an arrow). The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts; so if one of them runs away from you and you cannot catch it, treat it in this manner (i.e. shoot it with an arrow)."

5503 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَيْسَ لَنَا مُدًى، فَقَالَ: «مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ فَكُلْ، لَيْسَ الظُّفُرَ وَالسِّنَّ، أَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الحَبَشَةِ، وَأَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ» وَنَدَّ بَعِيرٌ فَحَبَسَهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الإِبِلِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الوَحْشِ، فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا»
