4404. It was narrated from Muḥammad bin Saṣwân that he caught two rabbits and he could not find a knife with which to slaughter them, so he slaughtered them with Marwah. Then he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allâh! I caught two rabbits but I could not find a knife with which to slaughter them, so I slaughtered them with Marwah; can I eat them?" He said: "Eat (them)." (Hasan)
4399 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ أَنَّهُ: أَصَابَ أَرْنَبَيْنِ، وَلَمْ يَجِدْ حَدِيدَةً يَذْبَحُهُمَا بِهِ فَذَكَّاهُمَا بِمَرْوَةٍ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي اصْطَدْتُ أَرْنَبَيْنِ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ حَدِيدَةً أُذَكِّيهِمَا بِهِ فَذَكَّيْتُهُمَا بِمَرْوَةٍ أَفَآكُلُ؟ قَالَ: «كُلْ»

[1] In Hâdî As-Sârî, Ibn Hajar says that it is a sharp stone after which the mountain across from Saṣâ was named. In Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhî, it is given the additional description of being "white."
The objective of Ad-Dhabh is to cause the blood to flow; with whatever object it is made to flow with, provided it is sharp-edged and slaughters at one go. One should not exert pressure upon the throat, but one should rather slay quickly, so that the animal feels minimal pain.
