Sahih al-Bukhari 5286 (Book 72, Hadith 24)
we got camels and sheep as war booty (and slaughtered them). The Prophet (ﷺ) was behind all the people.
The people hurried and fixed the cooking pots (for cooking) but the Prophet (ﷺ) came there and ordered
that the cooking pots be turned upside down. Then he distributed the animals, regarding ten sheep as
equal to one camel. One of the camels ran away and there were a few horses with the people. They
chased the camel but they got tired, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Among these animals some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them runs away
from you, treat it in this way.” I said. “We hope, or we are afraid that tomorrow we will meet the
enemy and we have no knives, shall we slaughter (our animals) with canes?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If the
killing tool causes blood to gush out and if Allah’s Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughterer animal).
But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I am telling you why: A tooth is a bone, and the nail is the
knife of Ethiopians.”
