English translation
4409. It was narrated that Râfi' bin Khadîj said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, we are going to meet the enemy tomorrow and we do not have any knives.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'If the blood is shed and the name of Allâh is mentioned, then eat, unless (it is slaughtered) with teeth or nails, and I will tell you about that. As for teeth, they are bones, and as for nails, they are the knives of the Ethiopians.'" (Sahîh)
