Sahih al-Bukhari 5297 (Book 72, Hadith 35)
said, “Hurry up (in killing the animal). If the killing tool causes blood to flow out, and if Allah’s Name
is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I will tell you
why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of Ethiopians.” Then we got some
camels and sheep as war booty, and one of those camels ran away, whereupon a man shot it with an
arrow and stopped it. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild
beasts, so if one of them (runs away and) makes you tired, treat it in this manner.”

Among the six canonical hadith collections of Sunni Islam, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, Sahih al-Bukhari is frequently accorded the highest rank. This esteemed status is a testament to the rigorous scholarly methods employed by its compiler, Muḥammad al-Bukhārī, who finished his work around 847. The collection is vast, containing an estimated 7,563 individual reports detailing the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. These are carefully categorized into 97 chapters, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding Islamic doctrine, law, and spiritual practice.
