1409. Shaddād bin Aws narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed Allāh has decreed Ihsān in everything. So when you kill, then do the killing well, and when you slaughter, then do the slaughtering well. Let one of you sharpen his blade, and let him comfort his animal (before slaughtering)." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ, Abū Al-Ash'ath's name is [Shuraḥīl] bin Ādah.
١٤٠٩ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللهَ كَتَبَ الْإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ،» فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ، وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذِّبْحَةَ، وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ وَلْيُرِحْ ذَبِيحَتَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. أَبُو الْأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ اسْمُهُ: شَرَاحِيلُ بْنُ آدَةَ.

If Islām could command its adherents to show such great compassion to even animals when they are being lawfully slaughtered, one could then imagine how compassionate it would be with human lives.
