Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Abu al-Ashara narrated from his father: I said, Messenger of Allah, is slaughter valid only at the throat and the base of the neck? He replied: If you stab the animal in its thigh, that will suffice for you. Ahmad ibn Mani said that Yazid ibn Harun explained this applies in cases of necessity. A report on this topic is also narrated from Rafi ibn Khadij. Abu Isa said: This hadith is gharib; we know it only through the narration of Hammad ibn Salamah. We know no other hadith of Abu al-Ashara from his father. Scholars differed over Abu al-Asharas name: some said it was Usamah ibn Qihtam; it is also said to be Yasar ibn Barz, or ibn Balz; and it is said that his name was Utarid, attributed to his grandfather.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report concerns the validity of slaughter away from the throat and base of the neck, with the explanatory qualification that this applies in necessity.
وَلاَ نَعْرِفُ لأَبِي الْعُشَرَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَاخْتَلَفُوا فِي اسْمِ أَبِي الْعُشَرَاءِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمُ اسْمُهُ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ قِهْطِمٍ وَيُقَالُ اسْمُهُ يَسَارُ بْنُ بَرْزٍ وَيُقَالُ ابْنُ بَلْزٍ وَيُقَالُ اسْمُهُ عُطَارِدٌ نُسِبَ إِلَى جَدِّهِ .
