4309. It was narrated that 'Adiyy bin Hâtim said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, I release my dog and he catches the game, but I cannot find anything with which to slaughter it, so I slaughter it with a sharp-edged stone or a stick.' He said: 'Shed the blood with whatever you want, and mention the name of Allāh.'" (Hasan)
4304 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُرِّيَّ بْنَ قَطَرِيٍّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي فَيَأْخُذُ الصَّيْدَ، وَلَا أَجِدُ مَا أُذَكِّيهِ بِهِ فَأُذَكِّيهِ بِالْمَرْوَةِ وَالْعَصَا قَالَ: «أَهْرِقِ الدَّمَ بِمَا شِئْتَ، وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»

'Shed the blood with whatever you want': For an animal to be slaughtered, it is essential to cause its blood to flow from the neck, whether it is done with whatever thing is available - iron, stone, stick, etc. But it should necessarily be sharp-edged, so that it does not cause needless hardship to the animal. The exception to such items includes teeth and nails; see No. 4408.
