1481. Abū Al-'Usharā' narrated from his father that he said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Is
there no slaughtering except upon the neck and the throat?' He said: 'If you stab its thigh it would be accepted of you.'" (Da'if)
Ahmad bin Manī' (one of the narrators) said: "Yazīd bin Hārūn said: 'This is in cases of necessity.'"
[He said:] There is something on this topic from Rāfī' bin Khadij.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except as a narration of Ḥammād bin Salamah, and we do not know of Abū Al-'Usharā' reporting other than this Hadīth from his father. They differ about the name of Abū Al-'Usharā', some of them said his name is Usāmah bin Qiḥṭam. they also said [his name is] Yasār bin Barz, and they say; bin Balz, and they say his name is 'Uṭārīd [attributing him to his grandfather].

Commentary
A camel is slaughtered from the upper part of the chest and below the throat, whereas all other animals are slaughtered from the throat. This is recommended for the slaughter of a camel but if the camel goes wild at the time of slaughtering, it is allowed to slaughter it from any part of its body. The real purpose is to drain the blood out of its body. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi v.2. p.347.)
