3244. It was narrated from Muhammad bin Safwân that he passed by the Prophet ﷺ with two rabbits hanging down. He said: "O Messenger of Allāh, I caught these two rabbits but I cannot find any iron[1] with which to slaughter them. Can I slaughter them with Marwah[2] and eat them?" He said: "Eat." (Sahih)
3244 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ، أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأَرْنَبَيْنِ، مُعَلِّقَهُمَا، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ هَذَيْنِ الْأَرْنَبَيْنِ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ حَدِيدَةً أُذَكِّيهِمَا بِهَا، فَذَكَّيْتُهُمَا بِمَرْوَةٍ، أَفَآكُلُ قَالَ: «كُلْ»

a. Rabbit is a lawful animal. b. An iron object is not necessary for slaughtering. c. Whenever a religious scholar is enquired about something, he should reply to that question even if it is a known matter; he should not say 'do not you know this too'. d. Marwah is a kind of white stone; its piece is used as a knife. Imām Ibn Athir ﷺ said: 'the Hadīth refers to any kind of stone; it is not restricted to a white stone only.' (An-Nihāyah)
