English translation

3180. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to a man from among the Ansār who had picked up a knife to slaughter an animal for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him: "Avoid those that are lactating." (i.e. those from which milk is received). (Sahih)

Arabic text

3180 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَأَخَذَ الشَّفْرَةَ، لِيَذْبَحَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِيَّاكَ، وَالْحَلُوبَ»

Commentary

a. Honoring a guest is a distinguished characteristic of a Muslim. b. The benefit of milk comes to an end if a milking buffalo, sheep, and the like is slaughtered while the meat could be obtained from other animals, so it is better to avoid slaughtering a milking animal.
