Narrated Khalid bin Al-Walid

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and I entered the house of Maimuna. A roasted mastigure was served. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stretched his hand out (to eat of it) but some woman said, "Inform Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of what he is about to eat." So they said, "It is mastigure, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He withdrew his hand, whereupon I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is it unlawful?" He said, "No, but this is not found in the land of my people, so I dislike it." So I pulled the mastigure towards me and ate it while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was looking at me.

Chapter 36: To slaughter sheep or camels from war booty without the permission of the companions

For the hadith of Rafi'a on the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him. He said, and the crime of the sacrifice of the thugs.
Narrated Rait' bin Khadij

I said to the Prophet, "We will be facing the enemy tomorrow and we have no knives (for slaughtering)' He said, "If you slaughter the animal with anything that causes its blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it, unless the killing instrument is a tooth or 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." The quick ones among the people got the war booty while the Prophet (ﷺ) was behind the people. So they placed the cooking pots on the fire, but the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered the cooking pots to be turned upside down. Then he distributed (the war booty) among them, considering one camel as equal to ten sheep. Then a camel belonging to the first party of people ran away and they had no horses with them, so a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Of these animals there are some which are as wild as wild beasts. So, if anyone of them runs away like this, do like this (shoot it with an arrow).

Chapter 37: To kill a runaway camel.

To tell a recess for the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him.
Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij

While we were with the Prophet. on a journey, one of the camels ran away. A man shot it with an arrow and stopped it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Of these camels some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them runs away and you cannot catch it, then do like this (shoot it with an arrow)." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Sometimes when we are in battles or on a journey we want to slaughter (animals) but we have no knives." He said, "Listen! If you slaughter the animal with anything that causes its blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it, provided that the slaughtering instrument is not a tooth or a nail, as the tooth is a bone and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians."

Chapter 38: The eating (of dead animals etc.) out of necessity

To say: “O you who believe, they are all of the goodness of what we have given you The flesh of the ginger, and what I do not have for it is for others He is a sinner for a sin, and he said: {So eat from what is mentioned by God, if you are believers There is no forbidden to you except what you have been forced to, and that there are many, they will be misled by their whims, without the knowledge of your Lord. Say: I do not find what I have revealed to me, forbidden to a lump He is with him, so whoever is forced to be unprecedented, nor returns, for your Lord is Forgiving, Most Merciful}. And he said: {So eat from what God has gave you good sweets and thank you for the grace of God. I am worthy of God for him, so whoever is obliged to be unjust, and no return, for God is Forgiving, Most Merciful}.
