حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَدَّ بَعِيرٌ مِنَ الإِبِلِ ـ قَالَ ـ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَحَبَسَهُ، قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ " إِنَّ لَهَا أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا ". قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَكُونُ فِي الْمَغَازِي وَالأَسْفَارِ فَنُرِيدُ أَنْ نَذْبَحَ فَلاَ تَكُونُ مُدًى قَالَ " أَرِنْ مَا نَهَرَ ـ أَوْ أَنْهَرَ ـ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ فَكُلْ، غَيْرَ السِّنِّ وَالظُّفُرِ، فَإِنَّ السِّنَّ عَظْمٌ، وَالظُّفُرَ مُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ ".
Ibn Sallām narrated to us: ʿUmar ibn ʿUbayd al-Ṭanafisī informed us, from Saʿīd ibn Masrūq, from ʿAbāyah ibn Rifāʿah, from his grandfather Rāfiʿ ibn Khadīj (may God be pleased with him), who said: “We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey when a camel bolted from the camels. A man shot it with an arrow and stopped it.” He then said: “They can become as wild as wild beasts; if one of them gets the better of you, deal with it in this way.” He said: “I asked, ‘Messenger of God, when we are on military expeditions and journeys, we may want to slaughter an animal but have no knives.’ He said: ‘Show me what makes the blood flow—or gush—and with God’s name mentioned over it, eat, except [what is slaughtered with] a tooth or a fingernail. The tooth is a bone, and the fingernail is the knife of the Abyssinians.’”
Translation notes
The source gives two closely related verb forms for causing blood to flow: نهر and أنهر.
