3177. It was narrated that 'Adi bin Hâtim said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, we hunt game but we cannot find anything but the sharp edge of a stone or stick (with which to slaughter it).' He said: 'Cause the blood to flow with whatever you want, and mention the Name of Allâh over it.'" (Hasan)
3177 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ مُرِّيِّ بْنِ قَطَرِيٍّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ ابْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَصِيدُ الصَّيْدَ، فَلَا نَجِدُ سِكِّينًا، إِلَّا الظِّرَارَةَ، وَشِقَّةَ الْعَصَا، قَالَ: «أَمْرِرِ الدَّمَ بِمَا شِئْتَ، وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ»

It means a sharp-edged piece of wood which can be used as a knife and for slaughtering. However, cutting the arteries and permitting the blood to flow from the body is compulsory for an animal to be considered slaughtered properly, which is not so in the case of an animal that is killed by strangling.
