4440 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زُنْبُورٍ الْمَكِّيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْهَادِ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أُنَاسٍ وَهُمْ يَرْمُونَ كَبْشًا بِالنَّبْلِ، فَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ: «لَا تَمْثُلُوا بِالْبَهَائِمِ»

Commentary
Mathl is to disfigure or mutilate someone. Targeting an animal and shooting arrows at it would constitute mutilation while it is still living.
